About This Watch
The Vacheron Constantin Fiftysix Tourbillon brings high complication into the brand's most contemporary collection, housing the caliber 2160 with its peripheral rotor and tourbillon visible at 6 o'clock. The Fiftysix's Maltese cross-inspired lugs and box sapphire crystal give this tourbillon a distinctly different personality from the classical Traditionnelle Tourbillon — more modern, more accessible in spirit despite the mechanical complexity. The peripheral rotor eliminates the visual obstruction of a central oscillating weight, allowing full appreciation of the movement through the caseback. The tourbillon cage, adorned with the Maltese cross, completes one rotation per minute at 6 o'clock, visible through a dial aperture. The slate blue dial adds contemporary appeal, while the 80-hour power reserve provides practical autonomy. Geneva Seal certification confirms the finishing meets the highest standards. The Fiftysix Tourbillon is positioned as a gateway to tourbillon ownership within the Vacheron Constantin world, offering the same movement technology as the more expensive Traditionnelle and Overseas tourbillons in the brand's most approachable design language.
