FiftySix Day-Date Pink Gold / Silver

In Context

At 40 mm it is sized to the current mainstream: 40 mm is the median across every watch measured in this catalogue. At 11.6 mm thick it is about average for a modern wristwatch. The case back is open, so the movement is visible without taking the watch apart, and the sapphire crystal will resist everything short of deliberate abuse. Rated to 30 m, it is protected against rain and splashes and nothing beyond that.

The movement winds itself from the motion of your wrist. 40 hours of reserve carries it overnight, but not through a weekend in a drawer. At 28,800 vph the seconds hand advances 8 times a second.

6073 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a silver dial with a pink gold case. Introduced in 2018. Beyond the time it carries a day-date.

Vacheron Constantin caliber 2475 SC/2 is a self-winding movement with day, date, and power reserve indicators. It consists of 264 parts including 27 jewels and measures 26.2mm across at a height of 5.7mm.
