Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle Patrimony 38mm 18k Rose Gold 82172/000R-9382

One of Vacheron's finest pieces regardless of price, and in our opinion one of the best dress watches on the market full stop, the Traditionelle 38mm small seconds is a very special piece indeed.

Featuring a perfectly sized 38mm case in 18k rose gold, it measures in at a svelte 7.7mm thick. It's quite amazing how VC has created so much detail in such a thin case, from the flared edges at the lugs to the fluted stepped flanks, and coin edge band running along the lowest edge. It really is phenomenal, and far more detailed that you'd usually see on a dress watch of this size.

Within this case lies opaline dial which is the perfect contrast to the gold case, with applied platinum markers, recessed sub-seconds and spectacular faceted gold hands. We have personally owned all three major iterations of this watch, and was always surprised about how such a thin watch could create so much interest on the dial without the use of physical space for depth.

Powering it is the stunning 4400 AS Geneva Seal manual wind movement, with very high levels of finish, and a lovely winding click.

This particular piece presents in TZ 'Near Mint' condition. Was serviced by Vacheron in late 2023, the case was refinished at the time, and shows minor scuffs and light hairlines, with no dings/nicks etc present. Please see images for full condition details.

Currently mounted to the OEM Vacheron 'gator strap on OEM gold tang buckle, with lots of life left. Buckle has minor scuffs from desk diving.

Winds beautifully, and keeping COSC timing. Remains under balance of Vacheron service warranty.

Comes with outer box, inner box with travel case (shows heavy deterioration as is typical of these), hang tags, USB, Vacheron Constantin passport, warranty card (undated), cleaning cloth, Hour Club card and service papers.

Given we owned one of these in our personal collection for years, and it still takes pride of place on landing page of our site, probably tells you all you need to know about how special we think this watch is. Don't miss your chance to pick up this recently serviced example at a very heavy discount to it's current $43,000 AUD RRP.
