Blancpain twisted feather 18k white gold

Vintage watches sometimes reveal hidden treasures to those who lookks carefully; here is one such example: a Blancpain secret watch from the 1950s, in 18K white gold, designed as a flexible bangle with a twisted double feather motif.

The round case features a hinged lid forming the end of the feather, with the crown positioned on the back. It has an original, intact dial signed Blancpain, with applied indexes, and a mechanical duo-plan movement. The feather-motif bracelet includes a sliding clasp.

The dial measures 30 mm in diameter. It fits wrists up to 17 cm and can be worn as a bracelet. The total weight is 71.6 grams of gold.

The watch comes with its original signed box. It was acquired by descent from the original owner.
