About This Watch
The Blancpain Villeret Quantième Perpétuel combines one of watchmaking's most intellectually satisfying complications with the classical beauty of a grand feu enamel dial. The perpetual calendar mechanism within the caliber 5939A tracks the day, date, month, moon phase, and leap year cycle, correctly handling months of different lengths without correction until the year 2100. The grand feu enamel dial provides a flawless white canvas for the multiple displays, with the various calendar indications legibly arranged: day and month in twin apertures at 12, date by central hand, moon phase at 6, and leap year indicator. The 42mm rose gold case provides adequate space for the complex dial while maintaining the Villeret's refined proportions. Correctors in the case band allow easy adjustment of each display independently. The caliber is finished to Blancpain's high standards with Côtes de Genève and beveled edges. At its price point, the Villeret Quantième Perpétuel offers genuine haute horlogerie quality at a price significantly below competitors from the Big Three, making it one of the most compelling values in the perpetual calendar category.
