Traditionnelle Manual-Winding 33 Pink Gold - Diamond / Green

In Context

At 33 mm it is small by current standards, in the range most wristwatches occupied before cases began growing through the 1990s. The 7.7 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.

1405T/000R-H009 is one of 3 executions of the 1405T/000R base reference. Underneath they are the same watch; what separates this one is a green sunburst dial and a pink gold case.

A hand-wound calibre of 116 parts and 2.6 mm depth, made for the ultra-thin Patrimony Manual-Winding, where the finished watch stands 7.7 mm tall. It carries the Poinçon de Genève, a hallmark that governs finishing and construction rather than timekeeping: Côtes de Genève on the bridges, bevelled and polished edges, mirror-polished screw heads and perlage on the base plate, applied largely to surfaces the case hides.

3 other watches in the library run the Vacheron Constantin 1440.
