Hi all!
Im looking at purchasing my first proper watch and whilst it will proably be a pre-owned lower end model this will still be quite a big investment for me. I have always like Vacheron but fell in love with the 1755 Jubilee in white gold / platinum when it was released and dream of owning one!
I have kept an eye out over the years for one at a price I might be able to stretch to but so far not much! As I really like this style of watch I started to look around at the other power reserve watches and I found one I really like that might well be in my $10,000 (£6k ish) budget, a pre-owned Patrimony Power Reserve in White gold.
However, there appear to be two types when searching, one that has Roman numerals at 4, 8 and 12 on the dial and another type (which I prefer) which has them at all numbers except 12 which is the Vacheron symbol. Here is one that I saw online and is sadly sold, which would have been great:

Here is the other style:

I would be really grateful if anyone could share their knowledge on these models and the rough years they were produced.
Many thanks
