Blancpain Villeret Ultra-Thin Ref. 7002 Japan Limited Edition

Partially verified

This Blancpain Villeret, reference 7002, is a manually wound timepiece from the 2000s, produced as a limited edition of 200 pieces for the Japanese market. It features a 36mm stainless steel case with a double-stepped bezel and a metallic blue dial with luminous Arabic numerals and sword-shaped hands. A recessed subsidiary-seconds register is positioned at six o’clock. The watch is powered by the Blancpain Calibre 64-1, a manually wound, ultra-thin movement based on the Peseux 7001, which holds C.O.S.C. chronometer certification. The watch is presented on a matching stainless steel bracelet and is accompanied by its original box, a C.O.S.C. certificate, and documentation regarding a service performed by Blancpain in 2025. The overall design emphasizes a slim profile with a sportier aesthetic compared to standard Villeret models, owing to the dial color and luminous markings.

The accompanying stainless steel bracelet consists of 16 links. The auction description reports that the case shows light signs of previous use with no evidence of polishing.
