A Pure Expression of Vacheron Elegance - 1980s Vacheron Constantin 33216 Patrimony
This ultra-slim Vacheron Constantin Ref. 33216 from the 1980s embodies the quiet sophistication that defines the Patrimony line. Featuring a beautifully stepped 31 mm 18k yellow gold case and bezel, this rare dress watch is a masterclass in minimalism and proportion.
The cream-colored dial with delicate stick hands and hour markers offers a clean, timeless aesthetic that balances formality with refined charm. The standout feature? An original integrated 18k yellow gold VC bracelet that hugs the wrist with sculptural elegance — creating a seamless flow from case to clasp.
Inside, it houses the revered VC Caliber 1003 — one of the thinnest hand-wound movements ever made. Ultra-thin, precise, and exquisitely finished, it’s a movement that reflects Vacheron’s haute horlogerie roots.
A collector’s piece for those who appreciate subtle luxury, horological finesse, and vintage Vacheron at its finest.
