Vacheron & Constantin Has Updated Its Entry-Level Watches with New Dial Colors

Vacheron Constantin's Fiftysix Collection, which debuted at SIHH 2018, clearly targeted a younger demographic, with its time-only variant coming in at under $12,000 and its day-date model priced at $17,900 a relative steal The Fiftysix collection, which sits alongside others that compete with models from the likes of Audemars Piguet and Patek Philippe, was a welcome addition to the brand's catalog, and it's seen several aesthetic tweaks in the form of new dial colors over the past few years Two new models are joining the lineup this year, including a perpetual calendar in pink gold with a blue dial, and an ultra-thin, ultra-cool skeletonized version of the same complication.

The last iteration we saw of this watch featured a blue dial and steel case, so it's fitting that we're now returning a pink gold version, this time with "Sepia-tone" brown dial and matching brown calfskin leather strap Far and away our favorite of the Fiftysix collection, the Complete Calendar now also comes in a pink gold case with brown dial and calfskin leather strap Fiftysix was largely complete at launch in 2018, consisting of an automatic time-and-date model, a day-date, and a complete calendar, and we're sure Vacheron will continue to iterate upon it with new dials and case materials for many years to come.

It takes years of R&D to develop an entire new collection, so we're not surprised to see small dial variations and iterations trickle out in the years since its launch. . Source
