Details
The Blancpain Ladybird Quantième Rétrograde (Ref. 3653 2954 58B) is a poetic and technically refined expression of feminine watchmaking, showcasing the Maison’s mastery in both horology and artistry. Housed in a luminous 18k rose gold case measuring 36.8 mm, the watch is framed by a brilliant diamond-set bezel, reflecting light with every movement and underscoring its graceful silhouette. The highlight of this timepiece is its complete calendar display with retrograde date—a sophisticated complication rarely seen in women’s watches. The day and month appear in elegant apertures, while the retrograde date hand sweeps along a crescent arc before leaping back to the beginning at the end of each month, symbolizing perpetual renewal. Its moonphase complication, delicately illustrated at 6 o'clock, connects the wearer to the rhythm of the cosmos. The reproduction of the lunar cycles on the Dials of Blancpain complete calendar watches evokes the time-honoured ties between watchmaking and astronomy, celebrating a centuries-old tradition where time was first measured by the moon and stars. The white mother-of-pearl Dial glows with natural iridescence, enriched by diamond hour markers and refined rose gold accents. At its heart beats a high-performance self-winding mechanical movement, assembled in-house and viewable through the sapphire crystal case back, where the beauty of traditional finishing techniques is on full display. The watch is paired with a white alligator leather strap, secured by a matching 18k rose gold folding clasp, offering both luxury and comfort. The Ladybird Quantième Rétrograde 3653 2954 58B is a graceful union of precision, poetry, and timeless elegance—made for the woman who appreciates the harmony between horological complexity and celestial inspiration.
