Patrimony Dials
Oct 27, 2011,08:25 AM
I saw some new Patirmony Contemporaine models that are now at retailers and VC has made a noticeable shift in the dials to a brighter, more silver finish. The dial finish is now consistant between the various Patrimony Contemporaine references (81180, 85180 (Self Winding), 86020 (Retorgrading Day and Date), and 81530 (Small model)), and the same regardless of the case color.
I have talked with some people who did not like the previous finish. They should be sure to revisit these models in the near future.

Thanks for the heads up, Bill. This will be something to check out although I do have a soft spot for the RG contemporaine with creamier dials. HAGWE Kazumi
