BLANCPAIN VILLERET LADY Zeigerdatum - Reference 4796-1418 - 18K Yellow Gold - Box & Papers 1991 - Excellent

This Blancpain Villeret, reference 4796-1418 embodies the brand’s dedication to purity, elegance, and mechanical excellence. Crafted in 18K yellow gold, this refined timepiece offers a discreet presence on the wrist.

The watch features a beautifully balanced white dial, adorned with applied golden Roman numerals that lend depth and sophistication to its clean aesthetic. Slender hands and the harmonious proportions of the 28 mm case make this piece a perfect example of understated elegance, ideal for those who appreciate traditional design at its finest. A charming and practical complication enhances the dial: the date is displayed via a dedicated hand within a sub-dial at 6 o’clock, adding both visual interest and functional refinement.

Completing its classic look is the original black crocodile leather strap, paired with the original 18K yellow gold pin buckle. Every element of this watch reflects Blancpain’s commitment to timeless style and high-quality craftsmanship.

A particular highlight of this model is its sapphire case back, offering a view of the finely finished automatic caliber 4795. This movement features a 21K gold rotor, a hallmark of Blancpain’s attention to detail and dedication to superior materials. The movement is not only reliable but also beautifully decorated, making it as pleasing to observe as it is to wear.

This example is preserved in excellent condition and comes complete with its original box and papers dating back to 1991, adding to its collectability and historical appeal. Watches from this era represent a significant period in Blancpain’s revival, when the brand reasserted its commitment to traditional mechanical watchmaking.
