Blancpain Watches
Blancpain Dress Watches at Auction
Blancpain are world-renowned for their exceptional dress watches, combining a timeless style with extraordinary complications. Gents 18ct gold dress watches with triple calendar, moonphase capabilities are amongst the most sought-after chronographs in the world. As such, these elegant timepieces are amongst the top lots at auction.
Bracelet watches and cocktail watches set in gold and platinum with diamonds and precious gemstones sell particularly well at auction owing to their classic style and exceptional craftsmanship. Blancpain produced movements for watches by Van Cleef & Arpels, Delaneau, and many other companies - these collaborations can also appeal to collectors at auction.
The 'Fifty Fathoms' Diver's Watch at Auction
Launched in 1953, the 'Fifty Fathoms' diver's watch was launched in the same decade as the infamous Rolex Submariner, and the Doxa Sub 300. Largely hailed as the very first modern dive watch, this iconic diver's watch is one of those 'holy grail' pieces for watch collectors. These rare watches continue to rise in value and can reach in excess of £10,000 at auction. Contact us today for a free auction valuation of your Blancpain Fifty Fathoms wristwatch.
