5395, Unnumbered ‘Prototype’ Perpetual Calendar, Yellow Gold

$19,000

The prototype case ‘No ‘ ref. 5395 Perpetual Calendar Moonphase, very likely the first 5395 made in yellow gold. Only a few unnumbered cases are known to collectors; these cases are thought to have been intended for the Blancpain archive and never available for sale. Those that made their way out are thought to have been gifts from the brand. The 5395 is an extremely discreet and elegant 34mm perpetual calendar that represents a celebratory end to the quartz crisis. But this exact 5395 is a very significant watch to Blancpain’s history as an innovator in watchmaking and the development of their own perpetual calendar from 1982 until 1986.
