It is unclear if you are looking for the last updated post or for the last updated date for some particular post. The answer by @PatJ assumes the former. To do the latter:
$qry = new WP_Query(array('p'=>1));
var_dump($qry->posts[0]->post_modified);
Or…
$date = $wpdb->get_var("SELECT post_modified FROM {$wpdb->posts} WHERE ID = 1");
var_dump($date);
Of course you need to change the post ID to match the post you are looking for.
