It is with great reluctance that I am parting with my Patrimony, but it is just not getting the wrist time that it deserves. This is a 35mm Patrimony in 18k white gold from 2007. The piece comes with hang ties, box, service box, and VC ribbon, but no papers. That said, I do have an Extract from the Archives directly from Vacheron Constantin which was obtained by the previous owner (a forum member here) who I purchased the piece from. The Extract from the Archive lists this as a "Japan Jubilee" which Vacheron advised me was a limited release (not numbered) which was done for the Japanese market. I have done some online digging and really cant find any more information on the "Japan Jubilee" nor can I find any recorded sales or available pieces, so it may be a bit of a rarer model but I can not confirm that. I am not looking for trades at this time.

This is a fantastic piece, in outstanding condition. Sorry about the dust in the photos, but I don't have an ideal setup for pictures right now. If things appear to be scratched in the pictures that is fingerprints, reflections, or streaks from wiping the surface with a micro fibre. I went over the watch itself with loupe and am struggling to find concerns. The only issues I can see are a very slight sign of a hairline on the outside of the lower right lug, and a tiny mark on the bezel/case at 4:00, but I was not able to see them with the naked eye, nor could I capture them in photos. The strap is the original black croc leather, and is showing some dirt and wear but no cracking. The tang/buckle is also in great shape, with perhaps a minimal hairline visible under a loupe. It comes with an aftermarket stainless steel deployant clasp as well, which has some hairlines and normal light wear.

I can do my best to grab more photos for interested parties. This piece bears the Geneva Seal on the movement, and is absolutely beautiful and extremely thin. The watch was serviced (including polish) by VC in 2017, and has only been worn about 6 times since then. I am asking $10.500.

I have bought and sold on here in the past, but I am a personal buyer/collector so my sales are a little limited and rather spaced out over time. I prefer a local deal in the Vancouver area, and am willing to meet prospective buyers to allow inspections.

Adding a couple pictures to show the size for reference. It actually wears fairly large for such a small spec watch. In the pictures it is next to a Speedmaster CK2998, and then placed over top. You can see the crystals are actually fairly similarly sized, with the main size difference being made up by the larger lugs and bezel on the Speedy.

Lots of offers coming, but I should clarify, I am firm at 9k net to me and not looking for trades at this time. I will gladly use PayPal G&S, but again, would be looking to net $9000 so the buyer would be paying the fee (around $270).
