Blancpain's Villeret Ultra-Slim line is built around the manufacture's philosophy of restrained, technically ambitious dress watches, and this reference houses one of its more unusual complications: a retrograde seconds display that sweeps across a 30-second arc before resetting, rather than running in a continuous circle. Powering it is the in-house caliber 7663, a 215-component automatic movement with a useful 65-hour power reserve.
This example is cased in 18k white gold, with a clean opaline dial that lets the retrograde seconds mechanism read clearly at a glance, and a sapphire display back showing the movement's finishing. Fitted to a black alligator strap with white gold deployant clasp, it's a quietly technical alternative to Blancpain's simpler three-hand Villeret models.
The watch is delivered with all items shown in the photographs.
