As their name suggests, Fifty-Six watches are largely inspired by an earlier model developed by Vacheron Constantin back in the year 1956. Some of the most highly desirable Vacheron Constantin Fifty-Six watches are those manufactured from 18ct rose gold and equipped with a complete calendar. Despite a distinctly retro flair, the functionality and easy-wearing design of each Fifty-Six watch offer the wrist a decidedly modern companion for enjoying every day of the week.

Vacheron Constantin Fifty-Six watches are some of the company’s most affordable luxury timepieces. The line exclusively offers in-house calibres and a design that reflects exceptional, high-quality craftsmanship. Fifty-Six watches are also renowned for their reliability ad accuracy. Each timepiece from this collection has been stamped with the Geneva Seal reflecting Vacheron Constantin’s unwavering commitment to ensuring each instrument is passed for its performance, power reserve, water-resistance and functionality.

Vacheron Constantin Fifty-Six watches have a very classic dial and a case design inspired by the brand’s Maltese cross emblem. As a clear tribute to product 6073 developed in 1956, these luxury watches perpetuate elegance by honouring the old and relishing the new. These casual yet sophisticated timepieces are amongst some of the most desirable and popular Vacheron Constantin watches to collect. The rounded case of each Vacheron Constantin Fifty-Six watch extends to the case lugs, which evoke the shape of the arms seen in the Maltese Cross emblem that features on the dial of every timepiece. This exclusive design element in particular appeals to elite collectors and devoted enthusiasts of the prestigious Swiss watchmaker.

As well as their audacious cases and avant-garde components that promise superior performance and accuracy, Vacheron Constantin Fifty-Six watches also instil a round, thin and elegant aesthetic that captures the beauty of timekeeping during the 1950s. All models from the line are fitted with an automatic movement as a tribute to the original 6073 model and its reliable automatic calibre. This same rule applies to the Day-Date versions and Full Calendar iterations of the Vacheron Constantin Fifty-Six line.  The latter is a true highlight of this collection, featuring a moon phase indicator and an accuracy guaranteed for 122 years, without the need to manually adjust the calendar during this time.

For keeping time, the reverse of each Vacheron Constantin Fifty-Six watch showcases a stunning 22-carat rose gold oscillating weight through a clear sapphire crystal exhibition caseback. Executed most tastefully, the exposed movement through the glass caseback invites the wearer to glimpse into the artistry and technical mastery of every in-house Vacheron Constantin movement. The dial of a Vacheron Constantin Fifty-Six watch features luminous material applied to its hands and indices for enhanced readability during the night or in dark conditions. The dials also feature two train track minute scales - one around the edge of the display and one in the centre.

In addition to this, top modes from the Fifty-Six watch collection by Vacheron Constantin are all stamped with the Geneva Seal - a mark of extraordinary quality. The certification criteria proves that the timepiece has been thoroughly examined and tested for its accuracy, water resistance, power reserve and functionality by a member of the Genevan Laboratory of Horology and Microengineering. This awarding body has been responsible for grading Vacheron Constantin watches with the Geneva Seal since 2010.
