The Blancpain Villeret Ultraplate 6606-2987-55B is a sophisticated example of Blancpain’s dedication to refined aesthetics and ultra-thin craftsmanship. Housed in a 40 mm 18k red gold case, the watch maintains a sleek profile at just 8.55 mm thick. Its opaline dial is elegantly accented with applied Roman numerals and four diamond hour markers, paired with delicate leaf-shaped hands and a discreet date display at 3 o’clock. The combination of precious materials and subtle design details gives the watch a timeless, elevated look. Powering this timepiece is the Blancpain Caliber 11C5, a manual-winding movement that is only 3.25 mm thick and offers an impressive 100-hour power reserve. The movement features a silicon balance spring, which enhances reliability and resistance to magnetic fields. Visible through a sapphire crystal case back, the hand-finished movement includes traditional decorations such as Geneva stripes and beveled edges. Paired with a brown alligator leather strap and a red gold folding clasp, the 6606-2987-55B is a beautifully balanced dress watch that exemplifies Blancpain’s technical and artistic mastery.
