Overview
The Vacheron Constantin FiftySix Self-Winding reference 4600E/110A-B487 distills the spirit of the Manufacture's celebrated 1956 ref. 6073 into a contemporary 40 mm stainless steel package. Its blue sunburst dial, arranged in a classic sector layout, balances period-correct aesthetics with modern legibility. Powered by the in-house Calibre 1326, the piece sits at the heart of the FiftySix collection as an everyday dress watch of considerable pedigree.
History
The FiftySix line was introduced in 2018 as a deliberate homage to one of Vacheron Constantin's most admired mid-century references, the ref. 6073, which had itself helped define the Manufacture's postwar design language. By choosing stainless steel for this reference, Vacheron Constantin made the FiftySix proposition notably more approachable within its own catalogue — a meaningful gesture from a house whose output is predominantly precious metal. The collection has remained in production since its launch, consolidating its place as a gateway reference for collectors drawn to Geneva's oldest continuously operating watchmaker.
Notable points
- Calibre 1326 is an in-house automatic movement, reflecting Vacheron Constantin's commitment to manufacture status across the FiftySix range.
- The 40 mm stainless steel case is relatively rare in the Vacheron Constantin lineup, where gold and precious-metal cases have historically predominated.
- The blue sunburst dial is rendered in a sector style — a layout directly referencing mid-20th-century dial architecture and the aesthetic of the original 1956 reference.
- The Maltese Cross, Vacheron Constantin's enduring emblem and one of watchmaking's oldest continuously used hallmarks, appears as a subtle detail on the movement and caseback.
- Introduced in 2018, the FiftySix Self-Winding has remained a consistent part of the active catalogue, underscoring its role as a cornerstone everyday dress reference for the Manufacture.
