Blancpain Women, Quantième Complet Phases de Lune «Orchidée», réf. 3253-6044-56B
The classic elegance of the orchid
Combining diamonds and a case with sleek, understated lines, matched with an elegant satin or python strap, the third face of the BLANCPAIN WOMEN collection is undoubtedly the most classical of the three. Blancpain has chosen to associate these luxurious watches, radiating a refinement conducive to expressing elegance and beauty, with the orchid. Capricious, strange and bewitching, the orchid symbolises purity and elegance. The embodiment of refined sensuality, this jewellery-watch plays on contrasts and materials. Complex and yet discreet, it reveals its inner beauty with the charm of true simplicity. As befits these most classical timepieces in the collection, they are all equipped with Blancpain's signature complete calendar movement. The theme of this elegant complication is confirmed by the clever integration of the calendar indications appearing on the dial. Slender and original Roman numerals are set off by subtle geometrical contrasts. At the centre of the round dial, a square minute track underscores the originality of the moon with its distinctly human face. The centre panel of the dial framing the calendar indications is fashioned out of mother of pearl in a colour matching that of the dial perimeter. The full moon bears harmonious feminine features graced with a tiny star-shaped eauty spot. Individually set diamonds on each side of the case provide a stylish counterpoint to the refined calendar.
So as to preserve this precious blend of classicism, exquisite refinement and elegance, the 34 mm cases of the first two models are offered exclusively in white gold. Nonetheless, these appealing designs make no compromise on practical features. Endowed with a 100-hour power reserve, mechanical self-winding Calibre 6753 drives indications of the hours, minute, seconds, pointer-type date display, day of the week, month and moon phases. These ultra-chic timepieces are available in a choice of white or black colour scheme, complemented by straps matching the colour of the dial.
