Overview

A full calendar in sepia-brown

The Vacheron Constantin Fiftysix Complete Calendar, reference 4000E/000R-B065, in 18K pink gold with a sepia-brown dial and brown calfskin strap. Self-winding calibre 2460 QCL/1 with day, date, month and a moon phase stated accurate to 122 years; 40 mm, 11.6 mm high, certified to the Hallmark of Geneva.

The reference 4000E/000R-B065 is Vacheron Constantin's Fiftysix Complete Calendar in 18K pink gold, showing hours, minutes, day, date and month together with a moon-phase display the brand states holds its accuracy for 122 years before needing correction. The case measures 40 mm across and 11.6 mm high, with a transparent sapphire case back and water resistance to 30 m. The dial is double-finished, with an opaline centre and a sunburst satin exterior; day and month show through apertures, the date is read by a hand, and the moon disc and every hand and hour-marker are 18K gold, picked out with blue SuperLuminova® on the hands and markers. This execution's dial is finished in sepia-brown, worn on a brown calfskin strap closed by an 18K pink gold Ardillon buckle; a silver-toned-dial execution on a brown alligator strap is also offered on the same case and movement.

The self-winding calibre 2460 QCL/1 drives the full calendar and moon phase: 29 mm across, 5.4 mm high, with 308 parts and 27 jewels, running at 28,800 V.P.H. (4 Hz) for a stated 40-hour power reserve, and it carries a balance-stop function. The watch is certified to the Hallmark of Geneva; the brand's page traces the mark to 1886, when the Republic and Canton of Geneva established it as a standard of quality, provenance and reliable workmanship.

For collectors

A 122-year correction interval for the moon phase is unusually long, and it recurs on more than one Fiftysix reference in this catalogue; the page attributes it to this calibre's own construction without a separate explanation.
