Vacheron Constantin Patrimony Contemporaine Automatic Ref. 85180/000G-9230 (White Gold, Modern)

The Vacheron Constantin Patrimony Contemporaine, reference 85180/000G-9230, is the epitome of purist, neoclassical dress watch design. Part of the renowned Patrimony collection—which draws inspiration from the heritage of minimalist Geneva masterpieces of the 1950s—this reference combines uncompromising aesthetics with the highest mechanical precision. Crafted from solid 18-karat White Gold, the watch stands out with its exceptionally slim profile, curved lines, and perfectly timeless elegance that is unrivaled in the world of haute horlogerie.

• Elegant 40 mm precious metal case in 18-karat White Gold: The three-part, highly polished case features an ultra-thin construction with an overall height of just approx. 8.5 millimeters. The slim bezel and harmoniously integrated, curved lugs ensure perfect wearing comfort and a discreet, refined presence on the wrist.

• Classic, flat winding crown: The discreet, easy-to-grip crown in solid 18-karat White Gold subtly bears the manufacture’s historic Maltese cross logo.

• Silver-toned dial with fine detailing: The domed silver opaline dial adheres uncompromisingly to the principle of minimalism. It features applied White Gold baton indices, slender, curved Dauphine hands, and a fine “Perlé” minute track with a railway-style minute ring.

• Discreet date window at 6 o’clock: Harmoniously and unobtrusively integrated into the lower half of the dial, the round or classic date display blends seamlessly into the symmetrical aesthetic.

• Ultra-thin in-house Caliber 2450 Q6 (Geneva Seal): Inside, the highly developed automatic in-house Caliber 2450 Q6 operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz) and offers a power reserve of approx. 40 hours. The movement is entirely hand-finished with Geneva stripes, beveled edges, and a solid 21-karat gold rotor, and bears the stringent quality seal of the Geneva Seal (Poinçon de Genève).

• Scratch-resistant Sapphire Crystal: High-quality, slightly domed Sapphire Crystal protects the dial and accentuates the classic aesthetic of 1950s watches.

• Sapphire Crystal case back: The screw-down case back with a Sapphire Crystal insert reveals the masterfully finished mechanical work of art inside.

• Water-resistant for everyday use (30m / 3 ATM): Provides reliable protection against splashes and moisture during everyday wear.

• Black alligator leather strap with Buckle Clasp: The reference is worn on a hand-stitched Mississippi alligator leather strap in elegant matte black, secured by a semi-solid Buckle Clasp shaped like half the Maltese cross and crafted from 18-karat White Gold.

• A milestone in modern dress watch culture: Reference 85180 embodies the essence of discreet luxury—a timeless, technically superb watch for connoisseurs who appreciate understated elegance at the highest level.
