Crafted in 18K rose gold, the round 40mm case measures just 10.4mm in thickness, giving the Villeret Jour Date its signature extra-thin profile. A scratch-resistant sapphire crystal protects the silver-tone dial, where applied rose gold Roman numerals mark the hours and polished steel leaf-shaped skeletonized hands sweep across the surface. A date and day-of-the-week display sits at 3 o'clock, while a small seconds sub-dial occupies the 6 o'clock position.
Inside beats the mechanical self-winding calibre 1160DD, a movement composed of 275 components and 28 jewels offering a 72-hour power reserve. The watch carries a push/pull crown, a fixed bezel, and a water resistance rating of 30 metres. A brown alligator leather strap secured by a deployant buckle completes the ensemble.
This example is presented with its original box and papers, reference 6652-3642-55B, making it a well-documented example of Blancpain's enduring Villeret collection.
