Platinum Patrimony Traditional
Dear VC Enthusiasts,
Yesterday, I noticed for the first time, on the VC website, that a 38 mm, manual Patrimony Traditional is being offered in platinum with a grey dial (Reference 82172/000P-9811). It is stunning and has just joined my wish list.

Does anyone know when it was released or the retail price?

Mostel, I've come around to the view that 38 mm is just right for a dress watch (by which I mean a watch for staid but not black tie occasions). My highly opinionated, completely personal size guide follows: Dress watch: 37-38 mm, preferably platinum Busi...
