Vacheron Constantin presents its new Fiftysix complete calendar with a petrol blue dial, a shade specially designed for this collection. The latter, crafted in sectors, is extremely legible, punctuated by an hour circle with Arabic numerals - a rarity in the Maison's models - and decorated with opaline, soleil and blued finishes - from the centre towards the edge. The Maltese cross appears on the integrated crown and on the dial, as well as in the design of the lugs and on the 22-carat pink gold oscillating weight of the automatic movement that equips it, calibre 2460 with a seconds stop device. The watch displays the date, day and month, as well as the moon phase display, and offers an impressive 122 years of absolute precision.
