- BRAND HISTORY
Vacheron Constantin Patrimony 4667, 1956 - Mid-century elegance, Milanese provenance.
The Vacheron Constantin Patrimony Ref. 4667 from 1956 is a masterclass in refined simplicity — an exquisite expression of post-war Swiss watchmaking when elegance and technical finesse were inseparable.
Its ultra-thin 18k rose gold case, crafted by the renowned casemaker Eggly & Cie, frames a beautifully preserved vertically brushed silver dial with minimalist gold hour markers, sub-seconds at six, and delicate baton hands. The balance of proportion and finishing defines the timeless aesthetic that still guides the Patrimony collection today.
This particular example carries special historical significance: it comes with the original Vacheron Constantin certificate from its first purchase in Milan, Italy, dated 1956 — a rare and precious detail that adds a layer of provenance few vintage timepieces can offer.

Vacheron Constantin
Since 1755, Vacheron Constantin has been the quiet cornerstone of Swiss watchmaking — the world’s oldest watch manufacturer in continuous operation. Yet despite that extraordinary lineage, the maison never shouts. It whispers — with elegance, restraint, and an unwavering commitment to horological perfection.
There is something profoundly dignified about a Vacheron Constantin. For over 250 years, it has crafted watches not just for collectors, but for kings, popes, sultans, and visionaries. Napoleon Bonaparte wore one. So did Harry Truman and the Duke of Windsor. But this isn’t a brand about ostentation. It’s about refinement. Purity of design. A kind of timeless confidence that doesn’t beg to be noticed, but rewards those who do.
From the sweeping curves of their ultra-thin dress watches to the mechanical genius behind their high complications, Vacheron Constantin represents the pinnacle of classical Swiss artistry. Every piece they create carries the imprint of tradition, yet never feels frozen in time. Their iconic Maltese cross — born from a gear component used in precise movement regulation — is a symbol of their relentless pursuit of harmony between function and form.
To wear a Vacheron is to embrace a watch that has nothing to prove, yet says everything about you. It is for the collector who has moved beyond trend — someone who values legacy over hype, craftsmanship over clout. Someone who recognizes that true connoisseurship lies not in loud statements, but in quiet excellence.
And in a world that moves fast and shouts louder, a Vacheron Constantin remains calm. Enduring. Certain.
After all, as their motto — unchanged since 1819 — reminds us:
“Do better if possible, and that is always possible.”
