Small Blancpain Ladybird Watch, ultra-slim 18kt red gold case (21.5mm diameter, 9mm depth) with see-through sapphire crystal back and set with one row of round brilliant diamonds, crocodile leather strap with 18kt red gold clasp, pale grey guilloche dial with red gold hands and Roman numerals and 8 round diamonds, 29 jewel #6.15 Calibre self-winding mechanical movement, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, water-resistant to 30 meters.

The ultra-slim sums up the essence of mechanical horology. Its earliest plans go back to 1911, ending in perfection just in time for the year 2000. Blancpain then issued a half-hunter version, warmly received by everyone with an eye for time at its best. One year later, Blancpain?s watchmakers jumped at the opportunity of placing this breathtaking design on a woman?s wrist, particularly one with a taste for exceptional objects.
