The ultimate "his and hers" pair of timepieces, the present lot is a possibly unique set of Blancpain watches. Made upon special order, it comprises two watches adorned with baguette-cut emeralds on the bezel. Emeralds are among the most exclusive gemstones used in high-end watches, reserved almost entirely for top-tier clients due to their rarity, exceptional value, and the meticulous craftsmanship required to set them perfectly.
As an extraordinary bonus, each timepiece comes with four interchangeable bezels: one in gold, and three others set with baguette diamonds, sapphires, and rubies, respectively. This allows the wearers to change the bezel color and combination at will, offering endless possibilities to vary their style according to mood or occasion. Numbered 1, this set is believed to be the only known example, made for a most distinguished and exclusive client.
Access to such a set in the 1990s was typically reserved for an ultra-elite circle of clients and long-standing private collectors whose relationships with the brand spanned decades. These pieces were offered discreetly through private appointments, invitation-only previews, or bespoke commissions, ensuring that ownership remained as rare and distinguished as the timepieces themselves.
