Love the Patrimony!

Personally one of my favorite dress watches. Really love the simple and extremely balanced dial, something very hard to get right. I think this one looks better than the variation with the date. If this watch had a see through case back it would be perfec... 

Beautiful pic

Of a most classic watch! The VC patrimony is hard to beat! Cheers Robin

Is that an 86180 in white gold?

...nice rare one we do not see very often. It had a short life, which is a shame as it such a beauty, a simple three-handed watch without date. Beautiful photo. respo

86180 indeed

It is indeed the 86180 respo and to answer Kevin\'s post above, it has a see through case back. Sorry again for the poor pic which has been taken with my phone... ...  

My bad!

Beautiful! I didn't know they made a no date version with see through case back. Must investigate now lol

No longer available

Sadly, the 86180 had a short life and is no longer available. It is a pity. I love this watch and would have hunted one for myself had I not gone for the manual wind Patrimony (two hands instead of three, no display case back). I admire the beautiful auto... 

That's a shame...

My personal favorite out of the current collection is the 85180 rose gold with slate grey dial. More versatile as it can be worn dressy or casual. Unfortunately the white date on a grey dial is really an eye sore.. If only they would keep it like the 8618... 

I read recently ...

That VC has has reintroduced the 86180 as a Geneva boutique edition and, if I am not mistaken, it is offered in white gold with a grey dial. May be worth a look.

I love the look of a simple three hand watch....

though I recognize that most people also like to have a date on their automatic watches. Bill

Love these "light play" posts

I did something similar a while back. I had a fortuitous accidental focus problem. This picture was taken with iPhone and untouched. (Other than cropped) ...
