Vacheron Constantin Patrimony Owner Review : Delicate, simple and unique

A few years ago, I bought, second-hand, this Vacheron Constantin watch, which some will call Patrimony, others not (the Patrimony was only released in the 2000s). It took me a while to find it because it had to have these few characteristics, which it fulfills: - find a prestigious brand - be a "dress watch" but vintage - have a SIMPLE dial: hour and minutes - possibly be in gold In the end, I was able to find this model, at the time, at Collector Square (which I do not necessarily recommend), with a leather strap, and "revised". In total, after a year of use, I still found myself with a few small defects to correct, while I recall, it had been revised: - the glass ended up in my hands, the dial in the air. I managed to reclip it with my fingers, but the water resistance was not guaranteed at all - the leather strap provided was of poor quality Nevertheless, the mechanism worked wonderfully, with impressive precision, for this 1995 watch. So last year I gave it a complete makeover at Vacheron Constantin, it underwent a complete overhaul, an addition of material, a polish like new, and a custom-made strap from Jean Rousseau. In the end, today, it is the watch that makes the most sense in my collection
