Blancpain is a one of the leaders when it comes to beautiful ladies timepieces, always tastefully embellished with diamonds and other precious stones, and designed with a feminine aesthetic. But also equipped with good mechanical movements. For this Valentine’s Day, Blancpain introduces the very beautiful Blancpain Ladybird Ultraplate Saint-Valentin 2016.
Blancpain Ladybird Ultraplate Saint-Valentin 2016 in white gold case, mother of pearl dial and a bezel set with rubies and diamonds.
With this new introduction, Blancpain’s Valentine Day watches goes into its 16th edition. Last year, they debuted the lovely Blancpain with a majestic inlaid rose. This year, they outdid themselves with an even more beautiful piece. A somewhat mysterious dial, with only 4 diamonds as markers for 12, 3, 6, 9, and a heart shape right in the middle. The heart is artistically decorated with a mix of diamonds and rubies. A heart shaped ruby with a arrow in white gold hangs as a charm off the middle of the lower case horns. We must say, the watch is very attractive. In total, approx 0.700 carats of diamonds and rubies are used.
