Specialist note

Accompanied by a Blancpain presentation box and outer packaging.

The present watch is number 1 in a limited edition of 50 examples.

The Blancpain Tourbillon Quattro wristwatch was unveiled in 2001 following the purchase of Blancpain by the Swatch Group in 2000. This limited production timepiece with 432 parts contains four complications: tourbillon regulator, perpetual calendar, flyback split-seconds chronograph. It is certainly one of the most impressively complicated watches ever made by Blancpain and is further distinguished by the fact it is number 1 out of only 50 pieces made.
