Patrimony 42mm Platinum / Anthracite

In Context

At 42 mm it is sized to the current mainstream: 40 mm is the median across every watch measured in this catalogue. The 7.65 mm case is genuinely slim and goes under a shirt cuff without argument. The case back is open, so the movement is visible without taking the watch apart, and the sapphire crystal will resist everything short of deliberate abuse. Rated to 30 m, it is protected against rain and splashes and nothing beyond that.

The movement is hand-wound, so winding it becomes part of the day rather than something the watch does for you. 40 hours of reserve carries it overnight, but not through a weekend in a drawer. At 28,800 vph the seconds hand advances 8 times a second.

1110U/000P-B087 is one of 3 executions of the 1110U/000P base reference. Underneath they are the same watch; what separates this one is a grey dial and a platinum case.

The 1400 is Vacheron Constantin's small hand-wound movement: 20.65 mm across, two hands, a 40-hour reserve and the Hallmark of Geneva. It powers 26 watches in this library. It beats at 28,800 vph with 20 jewels, and it is the movement of the Patrimony Manual-Winding, the plainest watch the maison makes, where a thin hand-wound caliber keeps the case to a few millimetres. The Hallmark of Geneva certifies its finishing and its rate, and its size lets the same movement serve the 30 mm ladies' Traditionnelle and a 42 mm Patrimony alike. The [1400 AS](/calibers/vacheron-constantin-1400-as) adds a small seconds. In the library it powers 18 [Patrimony](/brands/vacheron-constantin/patrimony) references, the Manual-Winding at 40 mm and 42 mm in pink gold, white gold and platinum, 6 [Traditionnelles](/brands/vacheron-constantin/traditionnelle) and 2 Maltes. 3 are limited editions. The [4400](/calibers/vacheron-constantin-4400) is the larger hand-wound movement with a 65-hour reserve, and the [2450 Q6](/calibers/vacheron-constantin-2450-q6) the automatic of the Patrimony Self-Winding.

25 other watches in the library run the Vacheron Constantin 1400.
