Description
MKS Factory Vacheron Constantin Patrimony Retrograde 4010U/000G-B330
MKS Factory delivers a highly ambitious execution of one of Vacheron Constantin’s most technically demanding modern dress watches, highlighted by a functional retrograde module.
Powered by Clone Cal.2460 R31L
The driving force behind this replica is the clone Cal.2460 R31L movement, heavily modified to support the upper-half retrograde date display. While the base caliber utilizes a standard reliable gear train, the addition of the complication module allows the date hand to sweep across the arc and return. The rotor is finished with the signature Vacheron Constantin Maltese cross skeletonization, though the underlying bridges exhibit standard clone finishing rather than true haute horlogerie anglage.
Regulated to approximately ±10–15 s/day. The added friction of the retrograde module requires a strong mainspring torque, meaning accuracy may vary slightly at the lower end of the power reserve.
- ✅ Power Reserve: Approximately 36 hours
- ✅ Complications: Retrograde date, moon phase indicator, hours, minutes
- ✅ Winding Direction: Unidirectional
Technical Specifications
The 42.5mm case is fully polished to emulate white gold. It measures 13.5mm thick to accommodate the clone movement module, giving it a heavier, more substantial wrist presence at 92g.
Features crisp retrograde numeral printing and applied hour markers. The white dial tone is well-matched to the genuine opaline, devoid of any incorrect metallic sunburst effect.
A smooth, narrow bezel profile that maximizes dial real estate, consistent with the minimalist Patrimony design language.
Supplied with a black Italian calfskin strap. The polished folding clasp features the half-Maltese cross design with accurate tension tolerances.
Why MKS Factory for This Reference?
Many collectors ask: “Why choose MKS over standard dress clone makers?”
MKS Factory specializes in replicating complex dress watch architectures that other factories avoid due to low yield rates. Their execution of the retrograde module is currently the most stable iteration available on the replica market, ensuring the date hand resets reliably without jamming the gear train.
Full Disclosure: The genuine 4010U measures 9.7mm thick. This MKS replica sits at 13.5mm thick due to the spatial requirements of the clone retrograde module. Additionally, the moon phase disc lacks the deep galvanic texture of the genuine Vacheron component.

Collector Q&A
Q: Does the retrograde date function actually work on this MKS replica?
A: Yes, the clone Cal.2460 R31L movement features a functional retrograde module. The date hand advances daily and snaps back to the 1st position at the end of the month, though manual adjustment via the crown should be done slowly to avoid stressing the internal jumper spring.
Q: Is the case thickness identical to the genuine 4010U?
A: No. The MKS Factory replica measures 13.5mm in thickness to accommodate the clone retrograde and moon phase module. The genuine white gold piece is significantly thinner at 9.7mm, which is a common technical limitation when replicating high-complication dress watches.
Q: How accurate is the moon phase display on this model?
A: The moon phase indicator is functionally tied to the movement and rotates automatically. However, it operates as a simplified monthly indicator rather than a true 29.5-day astronomical moon phase found on the genuine Vacheron Constantin caliber.
Q: What is the main visual tell on this specific MKS Patrimony?
A: Aside from the increased case thickness, the primary visual difference lies in the moon phase disc itself. The genuine features a highly textured, detailed galvanic disc with precise laser-ablated stars, whereas the MKS version uses a flatter, printed metallic disc that lacks the same three-dimensional depth under a loupe.
