Among Vacheron Constantin's complications, I personally believe the most noteworthy is the retrograde function. Although invented by Breguet in 1794 and applied to clocks and pocket watches, it wasn't originally a Vacheron Constantin creation. However, the first wristwatch in human history to feature a retrograde function was created by Vacheron Constantin in 1940, integrating a minute repeater and a retrograde date display, becoming a milestone in the integration of functions in watchmaking history.

The Vacheron Constantin Patrimony Moon Phase Retrograde Date 4010U/000G-H070 once again employs a minimalist aesthetic design while incorporating numerous vintage elements. The 42.5mm white gold case, paired with an antique silver sunburst dial, boasts a slim 9.7mm thickness, a testament to Vacheron Constantin's ability to maintain optimal gold thickness even when incorporating complications. Combined with an olive green alligator leather strap, the overall aged effect is quite pronounced.
The watch features a classic design and layout, with its signature domed dial paired with highly recognizable baton hands and a beaded minute track. The hands, hour markers, and the beaded minute track, composed of 48 polished 18K gold beads, are all crafted in pink gold, creating a striking contrast with the dial's color scheme. Surrounding the upper half of the dial, below the beaded minute track, is a retrograde date ring, while a moon phase window is positioned above 6 o'clock. This precise moon phase function, based on the waxing and waning of the moon, precisely corresponds to the lunar cycle (29 days, 12 hours, and 45 minutes), requiring adjustment only once every 122 years.
The exquisite 2460 R31L automatic movement features an 18K gold skeletonized rotor with a Maltese cross emblem, and the Geneva Seal, a rare feature even among Swiss watch brands. The upper plate is decorated with Geneva stripes, while the lower plate is adorned with a large area of perlage.
