Blancpain Villeret

The Blancpain Villeret Grande Date Jour Rétrograde, reference 6668-1127-55B, is a watch that exemplifies what Blancpain does best: serious complications presented with an elegance so refined that the mechanics feel almost effortless. This certified pre-owned example from 2019 is offered in excellent condition and comes with its full original set, including box, papers, and all original accessories. Crafted in polished stainless steel, the 6668-1127-55B presents the Villeret collection in its beautifully proportioned 40.5mm case with the signature double-stepped bezel and slim profile that have defined Blancpain's dress watch aesthetic for decades. The white dial is both elegant and technically accomplished, with a large date displayed through twin apertures at the top of the dial and a retrograde day of the week indicated by a blued steel hand sweeping across an arc between 7 and 9 o'clock before snapping back to Monday at the end of each week. Calendar adjustments are handled through Blancpain's patented under-lug correctors, preserving the case's immaculately clean lines. Powering the watch is the Blancpain Calibre 6950GJ.4, an in-house self-winding movement with silicon hairspring, 40 jewels, and a generous 72-hour power reserve, visible in all its Côtes de Genève splendour through the sapphire crystal caseback. The watch is delivered on its original black alligator leather strap with folding clasp.
