With Blancpain presentation box and product literature.

With over 250 years of history behind them, many mistakenly regard Blancpain as a conservative Swiss manufacturer. However, a little known fact is that they are one of the pioneers of erotica wristwatch production since 1993. Producing one-of-a-kind discreet timepieces such as this present lot is their forte - the dial is a soft luminescent pink mother-of-pearl. The only tantalizing hint to what lurks on the reverse is the legend Piece unique. Upon activation of the minute repeater mechanism, the automaton is triggered for the engagement of erotic action.
