Offered for sale is a beautiful 26mm Blancpain Ladies watch from the "Blancpain Ladies' Collection 2000" reference number 0096-1418-55 with the watch number in the low 300s. This is a beautiful example of a neo-vintage fine art timepiece that was originally manufacured in the early 2000s. I purchased the watch from Sotheby's and have owned it for almost 20 years. It's been worn less than 10 times by my wife. It's recently back from a $1,623 service at the factory in Switzerland. Comes with service pouch, brand new crocodile strap (never worn) with new pin buckle, original crocodile strap with gold pin buckle, original box, and a certificate of authenticity from the factory in Switzerland.

Technical specs:
Automatic movement

26mm case width

The closest comp that I can find in the current catalog is a Villeret Ultraplat which retails at $14,400. Comps on C24 range from $3,500 to $7,000 but there are none that I can find in this condition having just received a complete service from the factory.

My wife doesn't share my sickness so I'm letting this one go. Here's your chance to grab a beautiful ladies watch fresh from service. Happy to provide additional pictures or videos and happy to jump on FaceTime.
