In 2018, Vacheron Constantin unveiled the Fiftysix Collection, which was inspired by the watchmaker’s first water-resistant, self-winding watch created in 1956. The brand is now expanding the Fiftysix Collection with a 30-piece limited edition watch available exclusively at MR PORTER. The new Fiftysix Day-Date Limited Edition possesses an undeniably elegant, retro influence, reflecting its predecessor’s mid-century roots.
This new interpretation by Vacheron Constantin presents with a 40 mm diameter stainless-steel case, framing a petrol blue dial specially developed for the collection. The sector-type dial is distinguished by the application of three different finishes including opaline, sunburst, and snailed. The result is an extremely legible watch face, accentuated by elegant light effects. The Fiftysix Day-Date Limited Edition is equipped with a stop-seconds device and driving indications of the day of the week at 9 o’clock, the date at 3 o’clock, as well as the 40-hour power reserve at 6 o’clock. Collectors will find that each of the 30 pieces in this limited run is engraved with its edition number noted on the case.
