steel·2026 Q2
The Fiftysix Complete Calendar adds a complete (triple) calendar and precision moon phase to the accessible Fiftysix case; secondary prices are strong because this complication level at this price is unusual for a maison of Vacheron's standing.
Editorial estimate, 2026 Q2. Actual prices vary by condition, date, and box/papers status.

Not yet rated
Community + OSINT signals haven’t landed for this reference yet. We don’t publish a rating against zero signal — the number would mean nothing. Editorial body + caliber + market value still surface above; ratings appear once the signal corpus does.
The Maltese cross rotor through the caseback is the fastest visual confirmation; verify it is present before examining the calendar display.
Known issues in the market
The Cal. 2460 QCL/1 base is a JLC-derived movement with VC finishing; this is not a fully in-house movement but is correctly described by VC.
Any Fiftysix caseback without a Maltese cross rotor has a different or swapped caliber.

Authentication guide
Last reviewed June 2026
The Fiftysix Complete Calendar combines the 1956-referencing case with a complete (triple) calendar display including day, date, month, and precision moonphase. The moonphase and multi-display dial must be consistent simultaneously. The clover-leaf crown is the case-level authentication anchor common to all Fiftysix references.
Known reproduction risks

LOW
The Fiftysix Complete Calendar is a low-volume specialist reference with minimal replica presence.
Standard round or Maltese-cross crown instead of the clover-leaf design
Calendar that only requires correction at February/March, indicating an annual rather than complete calendar mechanism
Moonphase more than two days off from actual lunar cycle

2018 to present
Silver or cream dial with complete calendar displays: day at 9, date via retrograde or aperture, month at 3, moonphase at 6. Fiftysix case with clover-leaf crown.
Complete calendar display with day, date, month, and moonphase simultaneously visible
Fiftysix clover-leaf crown distinguishes this from all other VC calendar references
Cream or silver dial consistent with the Fiftysix color palette
"Fiftysix" text in the specific archival-reference typeface
Integrated lug curvature consistent with the Fiftysix case design
Service part flags

Complete calendar display
Original: Complete (triple) calendar, not annual or perpetual: requires manual correction at every month shorter than 31 days, not just February. All four displays must be consistent simultaneously.
Replacement tells
A mechanism that only requires correction at February/March -- this is an annual calendar, not the correct complication for this reference
Displays inconsistent with each other (day and month combination that is impossible on the current date)
Moonphase more than two days off from the actual lunar cycle
Clover-leaf crown
Original: Four-lobe clover crown consistent with the Fiftysix design language. Crown used for time-setting; case-side correctors used for individual calendar display advancement.
Replacement tells
Standard round crown or Maltese-cross crown in place of the clover-leaf design
Crown with asymmetric lobes or fewer than four lobes
Calendar correctors
Original: Case-side correctors for individual calendar display advancement. Each corrector should advance its display by one position per press with a positive click.
Replacement tells
Correctors that advance displays by more than one position per press
Frozen correctors requiring excessive force

toggle
Complete calendar caliber requires manual correction at every month shorter than 31 days, not just February/March -- a watch that only ever needs correcting once a year has an annual calendar mechanism, which is not the correct complication for this reference.
Poincon de Geneve visible through the caseback; same standard as all VC Fiftysix calibers.
Power reserve consistent with Cal. 2460 QCL/1 architecture (40h PR).
