Blancpain presents the Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe Quantième Complet and Chronographe Flyback models in full Red Gold. Featuring a case and bracelet meticulously crafted from 18K red gold, these striking timepieces exude opulence and grandeur, making a bold statement with their rich hue and imposing presence.
The Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe
The Blancpain Fifty Fathoms made its debut in 1953 as the first true diver’s watch, designed as a tool for professional divers. Its daily-wear counterpart, the Blancpain Bathyscaphe, followed in 1956, offering a more refined format with a reduced diameter for everyday use while still providing the capability to explore the seabed.
The 18K red gold bracelet
The production of the beautifully finished red gold bracelet involves a series of demanding assembly and finishing processes. The hand satin-brushed links are joined together by means of transverse pins, endowing them with a flexibility that ensures a perfect fit on the wrist. Based on a patented system, the screws are placed on the back of the links to preserve the smooth look and feel of the bracelet edges. Combining these skills guarantees great comfort and seamless cohesion between the case and bracelet.
A dial with a striking gradient
The dial of both Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe is adorned with an elegant shade of blue. Its subtle gradient combined with a sunray finish really brings the dial to life, imbuing it with a personality that reveals itself with the play of light. Exuding sophistication, it adds depth while providing great luminosity that catches the eye. Just like its wearer, each watch has a personality of its own, intensified by the striking contrast between the dial and the case and bracelet, which also reflect the light with their own extraordinary finishes.
