Description
A study in balance and restraint, this yellow gold Blancpain 5585 Perpetual Calendar Chronograph delivers true haute horology in a compact, elegant package. Powered by the superb Caliber 5585 (yes, same as the reference) with perpetual calendar module—the thinnest automatic chronograph perpetual calendar movements ever made at that time—it manages to house immense complexity in a case just 34mm across. The dial is a masterclass in symmetry, with moonphase, full calendar, and chronograph functions presented in crisp, legible harmony.
One of just 400 produced across all metals, this reference remains a rare sight, especially in a condition like this coming with its original burl wood box, guarantee, outer box, 2021 Blancpain full service receipt, extra BP strap and booklets.
