Vacheron Constantin Updates Steel Fiftysix Models with Two-Tone Grey Dials
Vacheron Constantin has updated the Fiftysix Self-Winding and Complete Calendar with 40mm stainless steel cases, more varied brushed and polished finishes, two-tone grey sector dials, box-shaped sapphire crystals and grey nubuck straps. The Self-Winding has a light grey opaline centre that darkens toward the chapter ring, a date display and blue Super-LumiNova accents. It uses automatic calibre 1326, offers a 48-hour power reserve and is priced at CHF 12,600. The Complete Calendar displays the day, date, month and precision moon phase, with a pointer-date hand around the dial’s perimeter. Its darker two-tone dial pairs a gradient centre with a light grey sunburst chapter ring, while the in-house calibre 2460 QCl/1 carries the Hallmark of Geneva, beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour and provides a 40-hour power reserve. The model is priced at CHF 29,500.
Buying Time Analysis: This update brings the Fiftysix’s accessible entry into Vacheron Constantin’s lineup to a broader audience through two-tone grey dials and steel cases, while retaining the collection’s distinct designs and offering both a simpler self-winding model and a more complex complete calendar.
