1998 Vacheron Constantin Patrimony Tourbillon ref. 30050/000J

Up for grabs is a Vacheron Constantin Tourbillon Patrimony

The reference is 30050/000J with 38mm yellow gold. This watch was producing 1998 and this series was limited to 300 pieces, with each one being numbered on the movement.

Excellent vintage condition watch shows light signs of wear. Sharp lugs and legible hallmarks.

The watch features a very attractive opaline dial with guilloche pattern.

Caliber 1760 is beautifully displayed showing off the Swiss Tourbillon lever escapement, lateral lever, annular beryllium balance with screws, hairspring with terminal curve, gold jewel-settings, simple regulator, Maltese cross shaped bridge Tourbillon and double barrel. Rhodium-plated German silver movement, “Côtes de Genève” and circular graining decoration.

The watch comes on an practically unused VC black strap with VC yellow gold buckle.

A full movement overhaul was completed in 2021 by VC with a receipt attached. Also, a VC certification was prepared during this time, which shows a picture of the watch, matching numbers, and full description. This is also included with the watch along with the original inner VC lacquer box.
