Specialist note

An incredible and highly complicated wristwatch, the present Vacheron Constantin Patrimony Traditionnelle Heures du Monde is offered in excellent overall condition with its accessories. An important timepiece of the Vacheron Constantin manufacture, the wristwatch is able to provide its wearer with 37 different time zones, including time zones with differences of 15 to 30 minutes due to his new calibre 2460 WT developed in-house and stamped with the prestigious Geneva seal.

Of extreme precision on the present timepiece, the world time mechanism was invented by celebrated Geneva watchmaker Louis Cottier (1894-1966). The technology was incorporated into watches by several of Switzerland’s leading watch firms, including Patek Philippe, Vacheron & Constantin and Rolex.
