The Blancpain Villeret Grande Date 6669-3642-55B is a refined timepiece that balances traditional aesthetics with modern functionality. Encased in polished 18k red gold, the 40 mm case has a thickness of approximately 10.9 mm, offering a strong yet elegant presence on the wrist. The opaline dial is understated and beautifully arranged, with applied rose-gold Roman numerals and slender leaf-shaped hands. At 6 o’clock, a double aperture displays the large-date complication—a signature feature that enhances legibility while preserving the watch's minimalist character. Paired with a rich brown alligator leather strap and a matching red gold folding clasp, this model is ideal for formal and everyday refined wear. Inside, the watch is powered by Blancpain’s in-house Caliber 6950, a self-winding movement known for its precision and reliability. It features a silicon balance spring, which improves resistance to magnetism and temperature variation, and provides an impressive 72-hour power reserve. Beating at a steady 3 Hz, the movement comprises 285 components and 35 jewels, and is fully visible through the sapphire crystal case back. The finishing is immaculate, showcasing traditional Swiss decoration such as Geneva stripes and a hand-engraved rotor. Altogether, the 6669-3642-55B is a sophisticated expression of Blancpain’s heritage, offering clarity, craftsmanship, and timeless appeal.
