Watches & Wonders 2020: Vacheron Constantin FiftySix Selwinding and FiftySix Complete Calendar with Sepia Brown Dials

Unveiled in 2018, the Vacheron Constantin FiftySix collection audaciously mixes eras. Its part-retro, part- contemporary silhouette inspired by an iconic 1956 watch reveals its playfulness through a new sepia brown-toned dial color. A look imbued with a vintage touch interpreted through two pink gold models with a calfskin strap designed for everyday wear.


Vacheron Constantin Fifty-Six Complete Calendar Sepia Brown Dial

A new sepia brown-toned dial color now reinforces the vintage character of this watch, available in two versions, automatic and complete calendar, fitted for the first time by a brown calfskin leather strap. A chic and authentic spirit to be worn every day and on all occasions. The retro-contemporary character of the FiftySix Complete Calendar is imbued with a new vintage aura. Framed by a 40 mm 18K 5N pink gold case, the sepia brown-toned dial is visually extended by a calfskin leather strap. Driven by the automatic in-house movement calibre 2460 QCL/1, the sapphire case back reveals traditional finishes, swept over by a 22K pink gold oscillating weight delicately open-worked in a shape inspired by the Maltese cross. A strong symbol also evoked in the shape of the lugs and on the notched crown of this watch that stylishly mingles historical influences with the aesthetic codes of contemporary elegance.
