The Patrimony Minute Repeater Perpetual Calender is considered as one of the most refined and complicated timepieces from Vacheron Constantin. This similar model was produced for sixty years, from 1946 onwards. Production has now ceased and this rare example presents a rare opportunity for collection. This minute repeater Calibre 1755 is notable for its rich tonal chime - the lower pitch marks the hours, the high pitch signifies the minutes and the quarter-hour alternates both pitch variations.
