Blancpain Léman Ultra Slim Ref. 2101-1418 (Yellow Gold, 36mm)

The Blancpain Léman Ultra Slim with reference 2101-1418 in solid 18-karat Yellow Gold embodies the subtle refinement of Swiss haute horlogerie of the 1990s and early 2000s. Named after the picturesque Lake Geneva (Lac Léman), the Léman collection combines the sporty, dynamic DNA of a reliable everyday watch with the refined hallmarks of classic dress watches. With its compact, highly ergonomic case proportions and distinctive double-stepped bezel, Ref. 2101-1418 is considered an exclusive hidden gem among collectors seeking discreet luxury and masterful movement architecture beyond the mainstream.

• Elegant 36 mm case in 18-karat Yellow Gold: The solid Yellow Gold case impresses with finely polished surfaces and Blancpain's iconic double-stepped bezel (Double-Stepped Bezel). With a slim case height of approx. 10.5 mm, the timepiece slips effortlessly under any shirt cuff.

• Double-stepped Yellow Gold bezel: The distinctive, flowing two-tiered profile of the bezel catches the light and underscores the timeless architecture of Blancpain's design.

• Classic silver-plated dial: The refined matte silver-plated dial features applied Yellow Gold hour markers and characteristic, slightly skeletonized hands with integrated luminous material.

• Date window at 3 o'clock: Discreetly framed, the date display blends harmoniously into the symmetrical dial.

• Precise Blancpain 1150 Automatic Manufacture Caliber: Powered by the legendary ultra-thin manufacture caliber with two mainspring barrels arranged in series. The movement offers an exceptional power reserve of approx. 100 hours at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour (3 Hz).

• Scratch-resistant Sapphire Crystal: A flat, highly transparent Sapphire Crystal reliably protects the dial from external impacts.

• Screw-down case back and screw-down crown: For a refined dress watch, these ensure remarkable everyday practicality and protection from moisture and dust.

• Water resistance (100 m / 10 ATM): Exceptionally pressure-resistant and robustly constructed for a model in this category.

• Hand-stitched leather strap with Yellow Gold clasp: Worn on a fine alligator leather strap, secured by an original pin buckle or Folding Clasp in 18-karat Yellow Gold.

• A refined collector's piece showcasing exceptional craftsmanship: Reference 2101-1418 is the perfect example of Blancpain's revival of mechanical watchmaking - a masterful combination of outstanding power reserve, precious metal, and timeless understatement.

• Weight & precious metal analysis (total weight 159 g): The total weight of the watch, including the gold bracelet, is exactly 159 grams. After deducting the non-gold components (approx. 4 grams for the Sapphire Crystal and approx. 9 grams for the movement, including the dial), the net weight of the gold components (case, case back, crown & bracelet) is 146 grams. At 18-karat (750 Yellow Gold with 75% purity), this corresponds to a calculated pure gold content of 109.5 grams of pure gold (Au 999).
