Villeret Ultraplate Blue Face, Dark blue leather

The Blancpain Villeret Ultraplate is a masterclass in understated luxury and horological finesse. Part of the esteemed Villeret collection, this ultra-slim timepiece features a 40mm case crafted from 18k red gold, measuring just 8.7mm in thickness. Its double-stepped bezel and gently curved lugs reflect the classic Villeret design language.

The dial is a rich sunburst blue, adorned with applied Roman numerals and skeletonized sage-leaf hands, all in red gold. A discreet date window is positioned at 3 o’clock, and the central seconds hand bears the initials of Blancpain’s founder, Jehan-Jacques Blancpain.​

At its heart lies the in-house Caliber 1151, a self-winding movement composed of 210 components and 28 jewels. It offers a remarkable 100-hour power reserve, achieved through twin series-coupled barrels, and features a silicon balance spring for enhanced resistance to magnetic fields. The movement is visible through a sapphire crystal case back, showcasing Côtes de Genève finishing and a honeycomb-patterned red gold rotor.

Completing the watch is a midnight-blue alligator leather strap with a red gold folding clasp, harmonizing with the dial and case. With water resistance up to 30 meters, the Villeret Ultraplate  is a sophisticated timepiece that seamlessly blends traditional craftsmanship with modern elegance.
