VACHERON CONSTANTIN
A refined blue befitting the modern gentleman
The "Fiftysix Complete Calendar"
VACHERON CONSTANTIN has introduced a new petrol blue model to its "Fiftysix" collection, which revives the iconic 1956 "Reference 6073" model with a modern style while retaining its retro design.

Retro-modern ambiance expressed in an "everyday elegant" watch
The elegant yet dress-down "Fiftysix Complete Calendar" is now joined by a petrol blue model. The leather strap, styled in the same color as the blue dial, brings a sophisticated atmosphere to any attire.
The self-developed and manufactured automatic movement is equipped with Caliber 2460 QCL/1, which displays the date, day, and month, and features a complete calendar and moon phase mechanism. The rotor, crafted from 22K gold with openwork and adorned with the Maltese cross symbolizing VACHERON CONSTANTIN's heritage, is also a highlight. Furthermore, this Caliber 2460 QCL/1 includes a stop-seconds function.
The sector-type dial offers excellent legibility, and the chapter ring, featuring an alternating arrangement of Arabic numerals and baton-shaped indices—a rare sight for VACHERON CONSTANTIN—is also distinctive. The center of the dial is finished in opaline, while the surrounding area is decorated with sunburst and snail finishes, with the outermost perimeter also featuring a sunburst finish. This timepiece, exuding understated elegance, is further refined with a petrol blue hue, achieving a more sophisticated style than ever before.
