20th anniversary edition
At the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the Patrimony collection, Vacheron releases a new 100 pcs, 40mm, self-winding limited edition designed in collaboration with Ora ïto.
Born in 1977, Ora ïto calls his design ethos “Simplexity”, art of giving visible simplicity to an object with complex functions.
I personally like the design, but have mixed feelings about the date: the Patrimony line being all about purity and simplicity, the date window feels unwelcome to me.
Have a nice day!

Personally, not for me.
I find that it looks too much like 90s watches (not the good looking ones). But maybe it will be very pretty in real life. Curious to see.
Too 'loud' for my sensibility....
but I think it looks great nevertheless! Thanks for sharing the images, cheers, Filip
Thanks, Filip.
It may be too loud indeed, but there's something about the dial design which I really like.
I like it a lot❣️🤩 Actually perfect, different, striking for a classical 3-hander! BUT, I would have gone 2mm smaller!
Good to see on the chaps hand, the presence is a bit too dominant. For me this steals a part of its charisma- dependent of the weist size of course. Not for my tiny 16cm wrist… 😅
38mm would certainly be great.
I personally like the dial design, except for the date window.
+1
It's my problem with these Patrimony. Never the good size for me. And this date isn't very nice. And as often nowadays it's a little bit lazy for an anniversary limited edition.
Agreed for the 38mm,
but I personally like the dial design, except for the date, and the yellow gold aesthetic.
True. I don’t understand why they do this kind of mess.
Chopard has got it right with the 1860: so it shouldn’t be that hard.
I like the dial design too, except for the date.
And I also like that the strap is different from usual.
Yes, 38mm would be much better.
As for the strap, I like that it's different from usual, but would like to see how it looks in real life.
Why is the logo not lined up with the 12 o’clock marker?
Why is it in a different spot in the different views?
Very good guess, confirmed by the animation on the official website.
So that's another detail I don't like (I'm not fond of logos printed on the dial).
No date would be preferred
I may see if I can't get that strap for something else though
This is not good design...
Not enough contrast between dials and hands. Date not great. This design is 'busy' for being 'simple.'
😅I’m not a sultan either and
you might be right, but I’d like to see it in real life: I think it might look quite good (even if there are too many flaws for me: size, date and logo printed on sapphire).
Personally I am becoming more attracted to it. I agree it would be better without the date, more purer but I suspect that it is a mater of following the
design of the family. The dial design ifs very unique. For me, I was interested in the 222 but couldn't wear a gold bracelet but I liked the e gold watch. It will be interesting to see woo this yellow gold compares to that of the 222. Of course I am still...
