Vacheron Constantin Fifty-Six Day Date 4400E/000R-B436 Rose Gold Silver Dial

The Fifty-Six collection pays homage to Vacheron Constantin’s 1956 reference 6073, a milestone of mid-century design. The Day Date iteration ref. 4400E/000R-B436 reinterprets that legacy with a 40mm 18K 5N rose gold case, its polished and satin-finished surfaces catching light with quiet authority. The silver opaline dial features applied gold baton markers, a railroad minute track, and two symmetrical apertures at 12 o’clock for the day and at 6 o’clock for the date — a layout that balances legibility with architectural harmony. The signature Maltese cross motif subtly adorns the crown, reinforcing the maison’s identity.

At its heart beats the manufacture Caliber 2460 R31R7, a self-winding movement developed and finished entirely in-house. Operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour, it provides a 40-hour power reserve and features a stop-seconds device for precise time setting. The movement is adorned with Geneva stripes, circular graining, and beveled bridges — visible through the sapphire case back — meeting the exacting standards of the Hallmark of Geneva. The day-date mechanism advances instantaneously, a technical feat that underscores Vacheron Constantin’s mastery of calendar complications. Water resistance to 60 meters ensures daily resilience.

Presented on a hand-stitched brown alligator leather strap with an 18K 5N rose gold folding clasp, the Fifty-Six Day Date wears with supple comfort and refined presence. Its integrated lug design ensures a seamless transition from case to strap, enhancing ergonomics without compromising aesthetics. As a full set accompanied by original box and papers, this timepiece represents a compelling entry into high horology — equally suited for boardroom decisions or evening soirées. For the discerning collector, it offers the rare combination of historic lineage, technical excellence, and timeless versatility, all within the understated luxury that defines Vacheron Constantin.
