Vacheron Constantin Fiftysix Tourbillon

Vacheron Constantin Fiftysix Tourbillon – a major horological complication in the collection

In January, at the SIHH 2018, Vacheron Constantin launched its Fiftysix-collection. Clearly inspired by the 1950s and positioned to attract a new and younger clientele. The look and style of the Fiftysix is a direct tribute to the reference 6073, a wristwatch created in 1956. 

The Fiftysix-collection with so far a Self-winding, a Day-Date and a Complete Calendar model is now extended with the first major horological complication.

Let us together have a look at the Vacheron Constantin Fiftysix Tourbillon …

SIHH 2018: The Vacheron Constantin FIFTYSIX collection

Vacheron Constantin, founded in 1755, Geneva’s oldest watch Manufacture, is heralding a new chapter in its history with its FIFTYSIX collection. 

FIFTYSIX … Modern interpretation of the iconic reference 6073, launched in 1956 and inspired by the Maltese cross 

FIFTYSIX represents an important new step as this original line, inspired by a historical Vacheron Constantin watch dating from 1956.   

FIFTYSIX … The golden age of round timepieces, the 1950s represented the pinnacle of aesthetic refinement and remain an incomparable territory begging to be explored.

FIFTYSIX … There is a definite sense of kinship – in spirit as well as in substance – between the 6073 model presented in 1956 and its interpretation in 2018.

FIFTYSIX … For the first time in its history, Vacheron Constantin has decided to offer a classic collection both in gold and in steel, while treating the latter material according to the same high aesthetic standards as the precious metal.  

FIFTYSIX … The collection presented at the SIHH 2018 comprises three 40 mm diameter models – Date / Day of the week, date, power-reserve indicator / Complete calendar with precision moon phase – available in various steel or gold versions.
