Blancpain Villeret UltraplatevsPatek Philippe Golden Ellipse 5738

Owners praise the Blancpain Villeret Ultraplate for its applied Roman numerals, depth, and pure dress watch aesthetic, with one reviewer calling it the essence of watchmaking. Some find the dial too minimal and prefer blued hands for contrast, while others consider the 40mm thin dress watch design somewhat old-fashioned. The dial reflection is noted as "insane." The pre-owned Blancpain Villeret Ultraplate offers significant value, costing under $3,000 compared to its original $5,000 price, and is the most affordable entry into the brand's classical collection. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Blancpain Villeret Ultraplate highly for its slim, pure design and value on the pre-owned market.
