Vacheron Constantin Presents The New Fiftysix Self-Winding In Rose Gold And Black Dial

The Vacheron Constantin Fiftysix introduced in 2018 is one of those watches that doesn’t dazzle but fulfils its mission and exudes class. The watch was inspired by the 1956 ref. 6073 features a contemporary design with a vintage touch. Initially launched with basic time and date functions, the collection has grown over the past six years and has included a handful of different models.

Today, the Maltese Cross brand is bringing the watch back to its roots by bringing a new Fiftysix Self-Winding in rose gold with a black dial.

Housed in a round polished rose gold case measuring 40mm by 9.60mm, features lugs inspired by the Maltese Cross, smooth bezel, box-shaped sapphire crystal, recessed crown at 3 o’clock, open case back and 30m splash resistance.

The sector black dial is adorned with gold pencil hands in the centre filled with Super-LumiNova that also fill the indexes, embossed gold Maltese Cross followed by the brand’s inscriptions in white and a thin white dashed ring that delimits the area and intersects a date window, applied gold Arabic numerals and baton hour markers, and lastly a minute/second track along the edges.

The sapphire crystal of the case back displays the Calibre 1326 automatic movement made by Horlogère ValFleurier and assembled by the brand from 142 components and 25 jewels, which reaches 28,800 Vph and offers up to 2 days of power reserve. The highlight is the skeletonized gold rotor in the shape of the Maltese Cross.

The watch is paired with an anthracite nubuck calfskin leather strap with a rose gold buckle sculpted with the brand’s logo and comes with a price tag of €28,000.
