With the Vacheron Constantin Patrimony Manual-Winding 39 mm, the Swiss brand launches a new size for their Patrimony. This is in our humble opinion the ultimate dress watch, plain and stylish, due to the use of the right materials, and with the right size. And of course, the new dial hue stands out as well. Take a deep dive in your watch collection and you will probably find a 1950s time-only dress watch like this. Hopefully from the same brand.

This new old-silver-toned vintage looking dial, combined with pink gold indexes and hands, brings you back in the fifties. However, watches from that era are mostly somewhere between 32 and 36 millimeters in diameter. Nowadays 32 is really small. And for some even 36 is just a little to small. So, this 39-millimeter, executed in white gold or pink gold, might meet the 2020s whishes.

The Vacheron Constantin Patrimony Manual-Winding 39 mm has a power reserve of 42 hours

Vacheron already launched new 36- and 40-millimeter time-only models by the way, and 42 millimeters if you want small seconds. But new here, is the hand-wound movement. Which also reflects to the 1950s. It is the Vacheron Constantin caliber 1440, pretty slim with a thickness of only 2.6 millimeters. Which makes the total thickness of the watch only 7.7 millimeters. It runs for 42 hours when fully wound.

The Vacheron Constantin Patrimony Manual-Winding 39 mm comes on an olive-green alligator leather strap secured with a white gold pink buckle. If you go for the white gold version. The pink gold comes on an azure blue strap with the same specs and a pink gold pin buckle. Both have the shape of a half Maltese cross, not in half the logo of Vacheron.

In case you want sparkling complications combined with this vintage dial, take a look at the Vacheron Constantin Patrimony Moon Phase Retrograde Date White Gold. Double the price but adorable as well.
