Vacheron Constantin has expanded its Fiftysix collection with new Self-Winding and Complete Calendar models, featuring stainless steel cases, two-tone dials, and updated straps.
Design and Case Features of the Vacheron Constantin Fiftysix
The Vacheron Constantin Fiftysix models boast a 40 mm stainless steel case. While maintaining the original shape, they introduce a new combination of finishes that enhances the play of light on the metal. The lugs feature vertical brushing with polished edges, and the case sides are vertically brushed, contrasting with the polished bezel, crown, and calendar corrector buttons.
Dial Design and Strap Options
The two-tone sector dial, available in various shades of grey, complements the cool sheen of the steel. A domed sapphire crystal with a retro vibe covers the dial. The watches come with grey nubuck straps featuring cream-colored stitching. While similar, the models have distinct color schemes.
Details of the Fiftysix Self-Winding
The Fiftysix Self-Winding model features a light grey center dial transitioning to a darker shade at the hour scale. The hour ring is bordered by a light grey minute track in a 'railroad' style. Between the dial's center and the hour scale, a duplicated minute track intersects with a date window. The hour markers include Arabic numerals and elongated rectangular indices in white gold, with hands coated in blue-glowing Super-LumiNova.

Inside the Fiftysix Self-Winding is a calibre from ValFleurier, based on a Cartier calibre. It operates at 28,800 vph and has a 48-hour power reserve. The rotor, made of 22-carat rose gold, is shaped like a Maltese cross. The estimated price is CHF 12,600.
Fiftysix Complete Calendar Dial and Design

The outermost edge features a dark grey date indicator ring with a spiral pattern.
