pAtRIMoNY tRADItIoNNELLE CALIBRE 2253 – REF. 88172<br />

Vacheron Constantin presents <strong>the</strong> Patrimony Traditionnelle Caliber 2253 watch in <strong>the</strong> Collection Excellence Platine. This model<br />

features a major astronomical complication in terms of technical application. Entirely constructed by Vacheron Constantin’s<br />

engineering department and developed over thousands of hours, <strong>the</strong> new Caliber 2253 provides information derived <strong>from</strong><br />

Earth’s orbit around <strong>the</strong> sun, notably a perpetual calendar, <strong>the</strong> equation of time, and <strong>the</strong> times of sunrise and sunset. It has a<br />

tourbillon escapement as well. Such is <strong>the</strong> complexity and level of finish of this horological masterpiece, that it comprises no<br />

fewer than 457 parts in a movement only 9.6mm thick. Production is limited to just ten pieces.<br />
