Vacheron Constantin Revives the Fiftysix Collection With a Contemporary Vintage Touch
The Swiss watchmaker introduces refined updates to its Fiftysix Self-Winding and Complete Calendar models, blending 1950s-inspired design with contemporary craftsmanship.
Nearly eight years after its debut, Vacheron Constantin has refreshed its Fiftysix collection with two redesigned timepieces: the Self-Winding and Complete Calendar. Both feature 40mm stainless steel cases, sophisticated grey gradient dials and anthracite nubuck calfskin straps with contrasting ecru stitching.
Drawing inspiration from the Maison's historic Reference 6073, introduced in 1956, the updated designs preserve signature elements such as Maltese Cross-inspired lugs and vintage-style proportions while introducing refined case finishes.

The Fiftysix Self-Winding features a light grey opaline center surrounded by a darker sunburst chapter ring, complemented by 18K white gold hour markers and hands. Powered by Calibre 1326, the watch delivers approximately 48 hours of power reserve.
Meanwhile, the Fiftysix Complete Calendar reverses the dial's tonal arrangement and incorporates day, month, date and moon-phase displays. Its Geneva Seal-certified Calibre 2460 QCL/1 offers a 40-hour power reserve, with a precision moon-phase mechanism requiring adjustment only once every 122 years.
Both models feature transparent sapphire casebacks revealing an openworked 22K pink gold rotor inspired by the Maltese Cross. The redesign reinforces Vacheron Constantin's approach to preserving its watchmaking heritage while embracing a more contemporary aesthetic.
