Vacheron Constantin Fiftysix 4600E-000A-B442 40 mm

The Fiftysix 4600E-000A-B442 pairs a 40 mm stainless-steel case with a blue sunburst dial, Arabic markers and dark-grey alligator leather. At 9.6 mm thick, it keeps the profile measured, while the date aperture, central seconds and luminous details give the watch a clear everyday reading. The sapphire back and 30-metre water resistance complete a balanced time-and-date format.

Automatic calibre 1326 provides 48 hours of power from a full rotor, with 25 jewels and 142 parts in a 26.2 mm by 4.3 mm package. It runs at 28,800 vph and has hacking seconds with a balance-stop mechanism. The visible back shows an openworked 22K 3N pink-gold rotor inspired by the Maltese cross and bridges with Côtes de Genève.
