Villeret Soleil 6223A-1542-55B

This is the Blancpain Villeret 270th Anniversary Limited Edition 18K white gold, 38mm model with a gold barrel and de-buckle. This is a very special Blancpain model that no one in Korea has. It was released in a limited edition of 270 pieces worldwide, And is a model that was produced in a limited edition of 270 pieces in 2005 to commemorate the 270th anniversary of Blancpain, A high-end watchmaking company that was launched in 1735. It also features Blancpain's top-of-the-line high-end automatic movement, Boasting a 100-hour power reserve. This watch is considered the ultimate high-end dress watch, Lacking nothing. The watch is crafted entirely from solid 18K white gold, And the back of the watch is engraved with the special number "No. 35/270, " indicating that this is the 35th watch of a total of 270 pieces produced. (★See photo) Additionally, The back of the watch features a beautifully cursive engraving of the phrase "270th anniversary" to commemorate the 270th anniversary. (★See photo) Officially known as the Ultra-Plate or Ultra-Thin model, This is a Blancpain automatic watch that lives up to its name and boasts a remarkably thin thickness. This is the Villeret model that boasts the perfect size of 38mm, Which was recently released, Rather than the small vintage model that was released a long time ago. This is a beautiful watch with a case shape close to the standard of Swiss high-end brands, A clean white dial, And indexes composed of Roman numerals. Another advantage of this watch is that it is equipped with a genuine Blancpain deployant buckle made entirely of 18K white gold (★see photo) The basic Villeret model has a simple pin buckle that only secures one side of the leather, But In the case of a debuckle, It is designed to not only prevent damage to the leather by fixing the upper and lower parts of the leather, But also to prevent accidents such as the watch accidentally coming loose and falling. Since it is a back buckle with a large folding structure, It naturally contains a huge amount of gold weight, And it has such high merit that buckles made of gold are usually sold in official stores for around 5 to 6 million won. The leather is also well-fitted with a genuine Blancpain black alligator strap. Unlike other Villerets, This special limited edition 270th anniversary model features a beautiful guilloche dial. A Guilloché dial is a dial that is handcrafted one by one in the Blancpain Manufacture factory in Switzerland. It is the main watchmaking technique of high-end luxury watches, Which creates an aesthetic effect by having people directly shape the dial with a machine, Giving it a more three-dimensional and luxurious image. It has a beautiful and consistent guilloche pattern engraved on it that spreads out from the center of the dial to the periphery. As you can see in the photo I uploaded, You can see that the guilloche pattern spreads out at regular intervals in a flower shape starting from the center of the dial. (★See photo) The dial is engraved with patterns in a consistent pattern and intervals to create an aesthetic effect. If you look closely at the close-up photos I've posted, You'll see the incredible craftsmanship and detail on the dial, Making it feel more like a work of art than a watch. It's hard to capture in photos, But when you see it in person, It's so incredibly sophisticated that anyone would be captivated by it. I think it's more like a work of art than a watch. It features Villeret's iconic leaf hands design. Leaf Hands is a name given to the shape of the hour and minute hands of the watch, Which resemble leaves. It is a symbolic design unique to Villeret, Which was literally inspired by the shape of leaves. (★See photo) It features Blancpain's beautiful logo at the 12 o'clock position and a date window at the 3 o'clock position. This is a watch with the optimal balance and design that any man with a 38mm wrist can wear perfectly and satisfactorily. In addition, It is equipped with a Blancpain automatic movement, So I think it is a stylish watch that can be worn comfortably without having to wind it separately or by hand. In closing, Blancpain, A Swiss high-end watchmaker with a history spanning nearly 300 years, Boasts the longest history of watchmaking. Founded in 1735 in Villeret, Switzerland by Jehan-Jacques Blancpain, Blancpain is the oldest watchmaking brand in history. Also, The world's first diver's watch, The Blancpain Fifty Fathoms, Was first issued to the French Navy in 1953, And the Rolex Submariner was first launched in 1954 the following year. And in 1980, The first Villeret model (as you can see from the name, It is named after Blancpain's hometown) was introduced, And while Blancpain focuses on the Fifty Fathoms as a sports watch, The Villeret lineup is its flagship model as a representative dress watch. While there are some basic, Clean Villerets like the ones on sale, The original Villerets are mostly sold with top-of-the-line technology such as perpetual calendars, High complications, Moon phases, And tourbillons. This is the Automatic Ultra-Plate or Ultra-Thin model, And it is so thin that it is called Ultra-Slim. The 38mm model I'm currently selling has been discontinued, And the same 42mm model in 18k white gold is currently selling for 49 million won at department stores. (★See photo) This is not a regular Blancpain model, But a limited edition for the 270th anniversary. It is made entirely of 18K white gold, And even the buckle is made of white gold with a special limited edition number for the 270th anniversary and a beautiful guilloche pattern on the dial.
