И немного с Hodinkee The Patrimony Moon Phase And Retrograde Date This isn't the first time a retrograde date complication and a moonphase have been combined in one watch by Vacheron Constantin, but it is the cleanest and most straightforward we've seen. Just the moonphase display and date are shown along with the time (notably, there's no center or sub-seconds display). The retrograde date watch from Vacheron that is probably most familiar to enthusiasts is the Patrimony Retrograde Day-Date, which has a retrograde display for both the date and the day of the week. The new watch is the same diameter as the Patrimony Retrograde Date, at 42.5mm, but it is a bit thinner, Moon Phase And Retrograde Date coming in at 9.7mm and the earlier Retrograde Date coming in at 10.02mm. The 32 one-hundredths of a millimeter is a reasonably negligible difference, unless you have a Princess-And-The-Pea sensitivity to such things, but some people definitely do (have you met watch collectors?). The moonphase is accurate to one day's deviation every 122 years, which is becoming something of a standard amongst moonphase displays in haute horlogerie watches. Inside is caliber 2460 R31L, which, based on dimensions and power reserve, looks to be a variation on the caliber 2460 R31R7 found in the Patrimony Retrograde Date. That's no big surprise. The two movements have the same dimensions – 27.2mm x 5.40mm – and both offer a power reserve of 40 hours, so wherever that minute difference in height is coming from, it's not the movement. The watch will be offered in white and pink gold, with the moonphase display showing the lunar disk in either pink gold or white gold, corresponding to the case metal. A nice touch is that all indications can be adjusted from the crown, including the moonphase display – in the first position, the movement can be hand-wound, in the second, clockwise rotation sets the date, and counter-clockwise sets the moonphase; in the third, you set the time. The price for either the white gold or pink gold model will be $39,500 at launch. |
