Blancpain unveiled a unique version of its Villeret Traditional Chinese Calendar for the Only Watch charity auction. Developed by the Manufacture in Le Brassus, this one-off creation in red gold is fitted with a black grand feu enamel dial featuring a chapter ring with applied gold hour markers, as well as indications painted in gold before firing. The 45 mm-diameter case comprises five Blancpain‑patented under‑lug correctors that adjust the indications. The novelty is completed by a dark-brown alligator strap with a red-gold folding buckle. The timepiece will be sold in Geneva on 7 November 2015 during the Only Watch charity auction, with all funds raised benefiting medical research for Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Is this a drop-dead-gorgeous timepiece or what?!
