PATRIMONY Platinum
Greetings all,
Here are some photos of my shiny new Patrimony in platinum with slate grey dial. Most are regular macro shots, 2 are are a little more artsy and the last two are done with focus stacking, using about 20 images.
I used Adobe Bridge, Camera Raw and Photoshop to handle them.
As you can see, the entire dial is in focus in the penultimate photo. Compare it with the 4th photo which is a single photo at f/8. Only part of the dial is in focus. And in the last one, the buckle and the reflection in it as well as the back of the watch are all in focus.
(BTW, if you're looking for the s/n I used the healing tool in PS to blend out the last 3 digits.
A little tedious to do but once you get the hang of it and concentrate on taking the photos properly, it's pretty straightforward.
I love this watch! It is so elegant and beautiful.

Wonderful shots
Of a wonderful watch. The color/texture of the dial is impressive in the flesh. Enjoy it in good health! Alex
Pure class!
As mentioned, this is the dress watch made of pure class Congrats on having this PT patrimony. Your pics are great too! Cheers Robin
Thanks again, Robin
I agree with you . It looks great on the wrist. I go so involved with the focus staking that I completely forgot to take a wrist shot!
Thumbs up!
Excellent pictures, especially the last one which confirms you're own class and taste as a photographer are very remarkable as your beautiful VC. Congratulations, thanks. Ciao, Elio
You are too kind, Elio
I am very happy to share my delight in this watch as well as the technique I used in post-production.
Thank chris
I did have my eye on that Traditionelle too But I preferred the layout on the Patrimony dial in the end. But it was not an easy choice.
Such a nice watch.....
and such nice photos! Do you find one Patrimony getting more time than the other? Bill
Thanks Bill
I ended up selling the other Patrimony. The black dial was just a little too stark for me. The grey dial softened the look, and gave a warmer almost romantic effect compared to the black dial. For me it really is the height of elegance. In part it's due t...
So discreet and elegant
It is beautiful, I like the Patrimony case and design a lot. You posted interesting pictures and especially so very unusual ones that we should see more. Wear it well JB and thank you for sharing. Cheers, Mark
It's my pleasure, Mark
Thank you so much for your kind words. It is a very lovely design and I think will become, over the years, a real iconic piece for Vacheron.
