THE WATCH
Blancpain Ultra-Slim Villeret 34mm automatic Caliber 1185 (Frederic Piguet) Ref 1195 1127 55 with full box and papers from 1994.
 
Absolutely stunning condition, and tremendous value for a watch of this caliber. This Blancpain is a true high-end stunner and was created during the early years of the brand's revival. The ultra-slim Villeret really wears beautifully on the wrist due to its thin profile, and is a quintessential dress watch suitable for the modern man. The Frederic Piguet movement inside is a cut above your generic ETA base movements, reflective of Blancpain's status in the watchmaking world. Additionally, these Villerets reflect the early days of the brand's vision that was directly molded by industry giants such as Jean Claude Biver and is a true classic that saw the revival of the once forgotten brand.
 
The nice stepped steel case, and its pristine white dial with its applied roman numeral indexes makes this one hell of an attractive watch. What is better about this is that it comes with its full box and papers, as well as its original Blancpain ostrich strap that still has quite a bit of life to it. This one was definitely very gently worn by its previous owner and kept in a superb condition.
 
ACCESSORIES
Full box and papers, dated to 1994. Recently serviced by a watchmaker in Singapore with receipt and a 1-year mechanical guarantee from the watchmaker.
