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.
The VC website proclaims the model "New," but does so for models introduced at SIHH in both 2012 and 2013. I've seen no press release or other announcement about this reference.
Does anyone know when it was released or the retail price?

It was introduced yesterday
And looks much better with this grey dial than the silver dial (IMO). I don't recall the price though. BR, Dan
Thank you, Dan
Thanks for the information. I guess I'll just need to be patient until it reaches the retail market. Park
My contacts are in Geneva now.....
but I will get you the information as soon as I have it. Do you have regrets on parting with your Traditionnelle Self-Winding? Bill
Thanks, Bill
Bill, I appreciate the offer of information. As to your question, I don't much regret selling the automatic Patrimony Traditional. I thought the crown and date window were each too small, and I replaced it with a Patek 5107P, which I prefer. The manual Pa...

The site moderated by the wonderful Alex Ghotbi has a dedicated post. I hope it is OK to 'obliquely' refer to it here, Bill! You are right, and it is stunning, but Park--knowing you--won't it be too small???
Nope
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...
I totally agree with your view on sizes.
I would even go for a smaller diameter for dress watches, and a tad bigger size for sports watches, though. Best, Nicolas

Nicolas, Your agreement on a matter of such gravity is akin to being upheld by the Supreme Court! Park

Thanks, Fx
Fx, Thank you for the wrist shot. Even after sleeping on it, I still want this one. Park
Please Park, let me know when you order yours....
Perhaps if we order two, we may have a discount!:):):) love it, love it, love it! Cheers. Francois
