As Vacheron Constantin approaches its 250th anniversary, they continue to impress with their latest horological masterpiece. This Patrimony design pays tribute to four legendary explorers, including the renowned Portuguese navigator Fernand de Magellan and the Chinese admiral Zheng He. The present model celebrates Zheng He, whose powerful fleet consisted of 62 junks and 100 smaller vessels, carrying a crew of almost 30,000 men. Not only were there sailors on board, but also scientists, government officials, and interpreters fluent in the languages of the Indian Ocean. A true testament to Vacheron Constantin's enduring creativity and dedication to exceptional craftsmanship.
