1.

A Storied History: Vacheron Constantin’s rich heritage dates all the way back to 1755 in Switzerland, and that history continues to inspire and shape the designs of the manufature’s watches today. The rose gold “Fiftysix” is the followup to an original Vacheron Constantin produced in 1956. It’s an incredibly precise watch, with a moonphase complication that’s accurate for 122 years.

Modern, Refined Touches: Further adding to the Fiftysix’s captivating aesthetic are the subtle khaki brown shade adorning the dial and dark brown calfskin strap — both of which make it infinitely wearable with just about everything in your wardrobe.

3.

Behind the Cross: The Maltese Cross, which can be seen on the dial of the Fiftysix as well as in the elevated oscillating 22K gold weight through the openworked caseback, was originally conceived as an emblem for Vacheron in the late 1800s. It’s directly inspired by a gear piece within the movement of a watch.
