SIHH 2019: Vacheron Constantin FiftySix Self Winding and FiftySix Complete Calendar with Petrol Blue Dials

The Vacheron Constantin FiftySix collection was released last year and for this year at the SIHH 2019 it just got even better —if that’s even at all possible. Inspired by the iconic reference 6073 —launched in 1956— two of the three models are now also sporting a gorgeous Petrol Blue dial. The blue dial with opaline center and sunburst exterior is now also available for the stainless steel versions of the FiftySix Self-Winding and the FiftySix Complete Calendar ref. 4000E with moonphase indicator. With an extremely well balanced dial thanks to its double apertures at 12 and a gorgeous moonphase indicator at six o'clock, this is without a doubt, one of the best looking Vacheron Constantin watches out there.

At 40 mm in diameter with a box-type sapphire crystal that rises above the bezel, sector type dial, superluminova on hands and markers and automatic movement, this is the very first time that blue dials are fitted on stainless steel Vacheron Constantin watches. Both watches are delivered on matching blue alligator straps. Everything else in these two watches, all the way from their movements, clasps, etc. remains exactly the same as in the previous models. Live pictures to follow later today as well as any additional details.

Sticker Price $21,600 USD for Complete Calendar and $11,700 USD for Self-Winding. For more info on Vacheron Constantin click here.
