Blancpain Villeret Répétition Minutes

Blancpain's Villeret Répétition Minutes, reference 6033 1542 55B, comes in a 38 mm white gold case. The case measures 11.35 mm thick, a slim profile for a watch of this kind. A sapphire crystal covers the opaline dial. Inside is the manual-winding calibre 332B, with a power reserve of 40 hours. The watch is built around a minute repeater, chiming the time on demand, and also carries a small seconds subdial. It is fitted to an alligator leather strap closed by a folding clasp. Blancpain's fact sheet lists no water resistance figure for this reference, so the case is best treated as suited to dry wear only.
