I was looking for a pink gold classic
And ever since it was launched, I was thinking of buying it. I love the design, the movement and I also respect VC and what it stands for. Between PP, L&S, AP, FPJ, etc I like that VC is the least obvious choice while its watches do not cry for attention imo.
I came very close to buying the normal version many times but always found the shininess of the seconds circle slightly disturbing the perfection of the watch. Hence when I saw in the flesh the boutique edition I knew this was my watch. Every aspect of it is perfect to my eyes. Even the PP 5227R could not deter me, although it is beautiful.
That's my story. Not really special, but that's how it went : - )
All the best,
Alexandros
new Patrimony
Just acquired this version of the mechanical Patrimony and wanted to share a first pic. I will try and take some more and share them as soon as I find some time. That cream dial was the trigger point after having the normal version on my radar for 3 years...
Nice, very nice ...
and I can almost "feel" the smile on your face when you put it on your wrist. Congrats! Oliver
Superb Alexandros, the nicest dress watch.....
on the market in my opinion. The Pat. Trad. is so beautifully pure. Numero uno on my list but in white metal for me:) Congratulations Cheers Francois from Down Under
Congratulations, Alexandros!
My opinion would be the same as Francois' if there was no Richard Lange. ;) Best! Marcelo
that's the beauty of watches
there is a favourite for each one of us.. : - ) I agree that the Richard Lange is also stunning in the flesh. All the best my friend, Alexandros
Likewise, Alexandros! And I wish you always enjoy that beauty...
...in the best of health! ;) Marcelo
Agree with you Marcelo, we have 2 first placed....
candidates, two different pedigrees from the highest stables. Both splendid, both resplendent in their simplicity. Cheers Francois
Congrats! Beautiful VC Patrimony
I am so happy for you. This is one of the nicest modern dress watches in the market! You mentioned cream dial - is this the VC boutique special edition? I have the VC Patrimony Traditionelle in RG but mine is the normal (non boutique edition). Still love ...
thank you for your comments guys
forgot to clarify this is the boutique edition, hence the marvelous cream dial. All the best, Alexandros
Beautiful
Beautiful watch. Love the dial. Is this cream colour the same colour Fx referred to as eggshell? The best part of this watch is the beautiful reverse side with the groves, and the stunning movement, so am looking forward to more pictures ! Congratulations...
this is the cream dial, yes
eggshell could be used as a characterization as well, I believe : - )
the beauty of this piece...
...reflects on all elements such as hour index, hands, dial, case in a harmony way. VC does a good job!
Congrats!
You captured the cream color very nicely with that photo. Wear it in the best of health! Bill
Just lovely
What a brilliant choice. For me, the only competition for this watch comes from within the VC family. But it is hard to compete with perfection. Congratulations! respo
As an owner of the 'regular' PG version, welcome to
the club !!! Congratulations on this new purchase.
I took out mine last night to wind and admire, both front and back.
Almost three years on I still love this piece. What a beautiful movement as well. One question: since you have the boutique edition, did your come with a special certificate and/or numbering?
to be honest, I did not even check this
I would think not. I will double check tonight, but I do not think so. I think I just got the case/box with the exposition window and the VC passport, which I believe is the case also for the normal version (?) All the best, Alexandros
Oh ok thanks. I guess it is a boutique edition but not an LE.
Please post more pics and those of the movement side.
I have a question - what has made you choose this piece? What
Else were you considering, either from within VC or elsewhere? This piece has suddenly become very popular. It was not when VC launched it in SIHH 2009. I bought mine in early 2011 and it was still unpopular. It's certainly got its fair share of fame this...
Be careful in looking to these forums to judge popularity....
The basic Patrimony Traditionnelle watches (82172 and 87172) have sold very well for Vacheron Constantin since they've been out, though they don't get as much attention necessarily on this or other VC forums in comparison with other models. Bill

I got a chance to see this model in person,
along with the regular rg dial and the platinum. I found this rg trad. w boutique dial to be my favorite by far. It's one of the most beautiful pure dress watches ever. Congrats.
beauty in its purest!
Love your boutique edition Patrimony Traditionelle. Very nice wrist shot! Thanks for sharing. Mine normal edition Patrimony saying hi to yours. It's also a special piece for me, being my first high end watch :) Glad your Patrimony is still bringing you so...
