Crafted from solid platinum and bejeweled 68 diamonds, many of them unusually large for setting on a watch, it embodies elegance and refined taste.
It would have been quite the statement piece for a very special American woman - and now it's available to be a statement piece for you.
Its parts are fully original. Its original U.S. contract case presents beautifully on the wrist. The case back has previously had an inscription partially removed. Please inquire if you would like further work done on it. Its dial is 100% original and very well-preserved. And its handwound Blancpain movement is running true.
It would originally have come on a black cord style band. It has been previously upgraded to its current 14K white gold bracelet.
Our watchmaker has freshly serviced the watch, making it ready for immediate enjoyment
Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.
Don't miss the opportunity to own this very special vintage Blancpain. Today's ladies watches don't come close to matching the history and romance of this incredible original.
