About This Watch
The Blancpain Villeret Quantième Phases de Lune is one of the most iconic watches in the Blancpain catalog, combining a complete calendar with a beautifully rendered moon phase display in the quintessential Villeret dress watch format. The large moon phase aperture at 6 o'clock features a detailed engraved moon against a starry night sky, which has become one of the most recognizable complications displays in haute horlogerie. The complete calendar shows day and month in twin apertures below 12 o'clock and date via a serpentine central hand. The caliber 6763 provides reliable 72-hour power reserve with Blancpain's proprietary silicon hairspring. The 40mm rose gold case with double-stepped bezel and Roman numeral dial in Blancpain's signature font create a presentation that is classically elegant and immediately recognizable. The complete calendar requires correction at the end of months with fewer than 31 days but offers the poetic moon phase display that many collectors consider essential for a traditional dress watch. The Villeret Moon Phase represents one of the best values in haute horlogerie calendar watches.
