For sale is my Blancpain Villeret Ultra-Thin Half-Hunting 18K Rose Gold ref. 3028. Being one of the limited edition watches produced during the Jean-Claude Biver era at Blancpain, it differs from the Six Masterpiece Villeret Ultra Thin in the fact that it has a larger 36mm case as well as a hunter caseback. While not explicitly written, it is supposedly a limited edition of 265 pieces.
Powering the watch is the original ultra-thin manual wind Frederic Piguet cal. 21 which allows the case to be right at 7mm thick even with a hunter caseback. The FP cal. 21 is beautifully finished with hand-chamfered bridges, Geneva striping, solarized wheels, and polished countersinks. The interior of the hunter caseback is mirror-polished to where you can see a perfect reflection of the movement. Dial is an opaline white with rose gold applied Roman numerals. Due to the thin double bezels, the watch wears more like a 37/38mm piece.
The watch is in EXCELLENT condition with some minor scratches around the bezel and exterior of the hunter caseback. The dial and interior of the hunter caseback are perfect. The watch comes on a new burgundy alligator strap but also includes the original Blancpain black alligator strap. No box and papers.
