Patrimony 36mm Self-Winding White Gold / Silver

In Context

At 36 mm it is classically proportioned: the size a dress watch was understood to be for most of the twentieth century, and small enough to sit under a cuff. At 8.1 mm thick it is about average for a modern wristwatch. 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 winds itself from the motion of your wrist. 43 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.

4100U/000G-B181 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a silver dial with a white gold case. Introduced in 2018.

Caliber 2450 bears the prestigious Geneva Hallmark and beats at 28,800 vibrations/hour. Besides displaying the hours and minutes, it has a centre seconds and a date window at 6 o’clock. With a power reserve of approximately 43 hours, this calibre features ceramic ball bearings in the rotor system, dispensing with the need for lubrication and guaranteeing the system a longer life. It is also equipped with a stop seconds device for stopping the watch and setting it to the nearest second.
