Blancpain Ladybird Ultraplate 0063D 1954 63A
Details
The Blancpain Ladybird Ultraplate (Ref. 0063D 1954 63A) is a radiant celebration of feminine sophistication, master craftsmanship, and poetic design. Drawing from the rich heritage of the original Ladybird—first introduced in 1956 as the smallest round mechanical watch of its time—this exquisite piece reinterprets its legacy through a contemporary lens of diamond artistry, haute horlogerie, and thoughtful symbolism. Crafted in polished 18K white gold, the ultra-slim 21.5 mm case is both graceful and technically refined. Its bezel sparkles with 32 brilliant-cut diamonds, totaling approximately 0.59 carats, each hand-set to perfection. These diamonds form a luminous halo around the Dial, enhancing the jewel-like character of the watch. What sets this model apart is the addition of an elegant ladybug-shaped charm pendant, delicately suspended from the lugs. This symbolic detail—long associated with good fortune, love, and femininity—adds a touch of enchantment and playful movement, bringing the watch to life with every gesture of the wrist. The Dial is a true masterpiece of light and detail, fully paved with brilliant-cut diamonds, each expertly placed to create a continuous, radiant surface. There are no hour markers to interrupt the visual harmony; only slender, leaf-shaped white gold hands float above the pavé, offering clarity and contrast against the sparkling backdrop. At its core lies a remarkable manually wound mechanical movement, a tribute to Blancpain’s expertise in ultra-miniaturized watchmaking for women. Entirely developed and decorated in-house, the movement is visible through a sapphire crystal case back, revealing meticulous hand-finishing, traditional Côtes de Genève striping, and a finely engraved balance bridge. This inner artistry reflects the same level of precision and care found on the outside—ensuring the watch is not only beautiful but also mechanically enduring. Paired with a black leather strap, and secured by a white gold pin buckle, the Ladybird Ultraplate balances lightness and luxury. The supple strap subtly complements the brilliance of the case and diamonds while providing lasting comfort. A poetic union of tradition, elegance, and charm, the Blancpain Ladybird Ultraplate 0063D 1954 63A is more than a timepiece—it is a finely crafted talisman. With its dazzling pavé Dial, ultra-slim profile, and signature ladybug charm, this creation celebrates the quiet power of femininity and the enduring magic of refined watchmaking.
