These two watches are inspired by the past.
The Patek Philippe Ref. 5098P-001, powered by Caliber 25-21 REC and launched in 2007, is inspired by a Chronometro Gondolo with a movement from 1913 cased circa 1920, which is exhibited at the Patek Philippe Museum.
The Vacheron Constantin Historiques Cornes de Vache 1955 Ref. 5000H/000R-B059, powered by Caliber 1142 and launched in 2015 in platinum and in 2016 in rose gold, is inspired by a 1955 Roman numerals variant of the Ref. 6087, the brand's first water-resistant chronograph, thanks to the screw-down caseback and to the seals fitted to the round double pushers. It was also anti-magnetic.

What a beautiful pair of watches both the Patek Philippe Chronometro Gondolo ref. 5098P-001 and the Vacheron Constantin Corne de Vache 1955 are stunning.
They both have a very strong vintage to them and yet are so different to each other. I hope you continue to enjoy both of them in good health. Marc
Thank you, J ! The vintage vibe is strong indeed
and, cherry on top, one can contemplate two very beautiful Geneva Seal calibers... Best, Emmanuel
classy. My tastes go to the VC.
I have the PP calibre as 25 21 / 176 T - do you recognize it by that name or is that something I should correct, do you know?
Thank you, Chris.
The movement is sometimes referenced online as you have it, but I've never seen a Certificate of origin with this "176 T". For example, on this page ( https://www.sothebys.com/en/buy/auction/2022/fine-watches-13/reference-5098-chronometro-gondolo-a-platin...
