Overview
A full calendar in sepia-brown
The Vacheron Constantin Fiftysix Complete Calendar, reference 4000E/000R-B438, in 18K pink gold with a silver-toned dial, a blue date hand and a brown alligator 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.
This execution is the Fiftysix Complete Calendar on calibre 2460 QCL/1, in 18K pink gold, with a silver-toned double-finished dial; the date hand is picked out in blue to match the moon disc. It is worn on a brown alligator leather strap, closed by an 18K pink gold Ardillon buckle. Vacheron Constantin describes the reference as heir to a 1956 model and states that the openworked case back shows an elevated 22K gold oscillating weight drawing on the Maltese cross.
The reference 4000E/000R-B438 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.
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; Vacheron Constantin 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
Vacheron Constantin states a 122-year correction interval for the moon phase and attributes it to this calibre's own construction.
