What is this? Vacheron Patrimony with Power Reserve and Date?
Hi, I am new in this forum as I don't own any VC watches. But today I come across this piece at my local AD. Wrist shot It's a very nice piece with a guilloche dial, power reserve indicator and date. The RG case is immaculately polished to perfection and ...
New model of the small Traditionnelle Power Reserve?
What size, 36mm? Cal. 1400? Definitely not on the VC website, but most resembles the small version Traditionnelle Moon Phase and Power Reserve, less moon phase of course. Nice find!
I can't help identify
but I would concur, it is a stunning piece with the guilloche dial.
The older 47200 had a similar hands positioning
but the only reference I could find with this new dial is from a Russian site (ref 83520)... Hard to believe we can't find other sources on the net if it is a regular model (except if it was a limited edition somewhere). I would be cautious without more i...

I saw it both at an Authorized AD and the Vacheron Constantine boutique itself.
New model: VC Traditionelle Power Reserve 83520

This is a Ref. 83020-000r-9909
It was introduced at Watches & Wonders 2014 in Hong Kong. This and its diamond bezel version (Ref. 83520-000r-9909) were exclusive to Asia when they were first introduced, though I don't know how long that exclusivity period is. The reference number s...
Wow Dan I didn't know this was launched in SIHH 2014
And I got the reference and movement wrong (I got my info from VC Singapore lol) Thanks for correcting me! Hope to see you again soon my friend Cheers Robin
The movement
Thanks dshao1. When I say it's not so well decorated, I can only said so subjectively after I visually compared it to my current APs ( Diver, Jumbo ) and PP ( 5205R ). The finishing looks very plain and does not "pop". Of course, the standard is Lange whi...
Actually, I don't agree
Lange made a deliberate decision to implement certain characteristics in their movement design and finish which gave emphasis to depth and contrast. This creates the visual appeal which admittedly attracts many, but it does not in any manner imply they sp...
