Blancpain Villeret Ref. 6595PT - "Very good" condition

This Blancpain Villeret Complete Calendar Moonphase, reference 6595, in platinum is in very good condition.

The 6595 has a special place in the history of watchmaking. When Jean-Claude Biver revived Blancpain in the early 1980s, he declared that the brand would never make a quartz watch. To prove it, Blancpain launched six “Masterpieces”, six classic mechanical complications that helped bring traditional Swiss watchmaking back after the quartz crisis. The Complete Calendar Moonphase, introduced around 1983, was the first of them. Collectors often call it the “Triple Calendar”.

The classic Villeret dial shows the day and month in two windows below 12 o’clock and the date with a central hand. A moon phase sits at 6 o’clock. At the time, its calendar module was the smallest of its kind ever made, which allowed the elegant 34 mm case. Here the case is solid platinum, the rarest and most precious execution of the 6595. Inside is a self-winding Blancpain movement with the calendar module mounted on top.

In very good condition: a key watch of the mechanical renaissance and one of the most beautiful neo-vintage calendar watches, in platinum.
