Introduction
Inspired by elegant mid-century design, the Vacheron Constantin Patrimony represents an exquisite marriage of tradition, innovation and artisanal craftsmanship. Exemplifying Vacheron’s commitment to timeless elegance, this timepiece features a clean, minimalist design and Vacheron’s signature high-grade craftsmanship. Boasting a thin 35mm 18-karat rose gold case that houses a meticulously crafted manual-wind cal. 1001 movement, the ref. 4667 is a wonderfully classical piece of horology. Contrasting the rich warmth of its rose gold case, the example we have here’s silver dial features an aesthetically pleasing mix of thin sword-shaped hands, thin applied indices, and a subtle crosshair running seconds subdial. With its understated elegance and masterful precision, the Vacheron Constantin Patrimony embodies the brand's dedication to horological excellence and their pursuit of high-end craftsmanship.

THE DIAL
Boasting an understated silver dial, this example's aesthetic flourish comes from its subtle crosshair running seconds subdial at 6 o'clock that adds a hint of increased functionality as well as style.
THE CONSTRUCTION
Boasting a simple construction that has resulted in it being entirely timeless, this Patrimony features a thin bezel, a small winding crown, and straight lugs that make this watch the perfect dress watch.
TIMING MACHINE READOUT
This reading was taken (crown down) with a ONEOF Accuracy Boutique Edition timing machine at time of cataloging. It is provided as a courtesy only, and shall not be construed as a warranty or guarantee of any kind. Please refer to our terms and conditions of sale for more information.
Condition
Watch is in very good overall condition. Case shows some wear, including some marks along the case and bezel. Gold hallmark on the mid-case is crisp and still visible. Acrylic crystal has some scratches, but the silvered dial remains in excellent condition. Movement shows some oxidation/discoloration on the signed bridge. Movement is not keeping time and needs to be overhauled.
Please Note: Due to CITES considerations, if the watch is to be shipped outside of the USA, the exotic skin strap will have to be removed.
Our Perspective
Combining elegance and sophistication with understated aesthetics, the ref. 4667 shows just how timeless the Patrimony has been over the years, with its design remaining relatively unchanged all of these years later.
