Incoming Vacheron Constantin Fiftysix Complete Calendar

Love the look of the new Fiftysix Complete Calendar from VC. My first Vacheron Constantin watch and first with moon phase complication.

I like that dial color--petrol blue. It looks much cooler that the silver dial. Congrats!

Really nice. Reminds me of one of my favorite watches of all time: the toledo 1952 ref 47300.
Wear it in good health!

That is beautiful!

I looked at the basic 56 earlier this year and was very close to buying it. Excellent fit, finish and style in a watch for a great price point.

Beautiful! Congratulations! I find the blue dial mesmerising and much better than the silver dial. The VC gives me more joy than my Rolex does.

Congrats on a very nice timepiece. The petrol blue dial is lovely and I particularly like the symmetry with this model. Lets see some movement shots as it is very well finished as expected from VC.

It is also relatively good value for a VC when you consider the complications- enjoy!

I also looked at the basic date version and it is a great watch. However this is the only one in the series that does not have the Geneva seal. The day/date and the complete calendar do have the Geneva seal.

So when I examined the finishing between the basic version and the other two - I could immediately notice a big difference in quality without a loupe.

My suggestion is not to consider the basic version for this reason but this is just my humble opinion.

That’s a beautiful piece. A trinity piece w a useful complication that is “relatively” affordable. Now if they only release a 56 chrono...yummy.

This was my thought exactly (planted by my AD - are they trained to say this?). The basic date version is also very nice and more affordable, but I fell in love with the calendar complications and the addition of the Geneva seal helped convince me.
