{"product_id":"blancpain-villeret-skeleton-in-platinum","title":"Blancpain Villeret Skeleton in Platinum","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBlancpain's commitment to mechanical watchmaking has never been merely commercial — it is constitutional.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWhen the manufacture relaunched in 1983 with its founding principle of no quartz, ever, the skeleton watch was among the first complications it pursued: not as decoration, but as a demonstration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA skeletonised movement is watchmaking made transparent, every component exposed to scrutiny, every surface requiring finishing on all sides rather than just the visible one. There is nowhere to hide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis Villeret Skeleton in platinum takes that transparency to its most demanding conclusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe movement has been meticulously openworked by hand — the bridges and plates carved away to their structural minimum, the remaining surfaces bevelled, polished, and anglaged to the standard that platinum cases demand and that very few movements can justify.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe red jewels, the gilded gear train, and the polished steel bridges create a composition of considerable depth visible through the enamel chapter ring carrying Blancpain's Roman numerals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003ePlatinum was the correct choice for a piece of this ambition — the metal's weight and cool neutrality frame the movement without competing with it, and its rarity matches that of the edition itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eProduced in a limited run of just 50 examples, this is number 11 — among the earliest of the series, and documented as such. The original buckle accompanies it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFifty pieces in platinum, each individually numbered. A Blancpain for the collector who understands what that means.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sabiwatches","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58609404018952,"sku":null,"price":15900.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0947\/3477\/8632\/files\/1409_Blancpain_Skeleton.jpg?v=1788526555","url":"https:\/\/sabiwatches.com\/fr\/products\/blancpain-villeret-skeleton-in-platinum","provider":"Sabiwatches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
