A Great Moon Phase Classic
Thanks to Nicolas and his great Fifty Fathoms posts, we have been in a classic mood here on the Forum. So I thought I would keep that going with a shot of another classic, the triple date moon phase from the Villeret Collection. This rose gold watch was part of the Anniversary limited edition series that celebrated the 20th anniversary of the moon phase watch at Blancpain.
This is so understated and elegant it will always be part of my collection.
The movement on this Anniversary model was fun also, with a hand carved rose gold winding rotor done as the "Man in the Moon".

one (slightly) older variation
Jeff, the Villeret Anniversary Moonphase Calendar is a real beauty - it comes close but not quite reaches the looks of the Leman Half Hunter from 1999, IMHO. This red gold 38mm watch was limited to 250 pieces - and at that time Blancpain still managed to ...
Oh, How I Wish
Congrats on the classic Half Hunter version. I used to own that one--just like yours in rose gold. Some evil force inside me allowed me to sell mine some years ago to finance another watch purchase. I still really miss that watch. There was something abou...
Very Nice Indeed
I especially like the "JB" logo at 12' and the skeletal min/hr hands. Quite simply superb !
I remember very well this one, Jeff
And I can even tell you that it was the first time I fell in love with a colored gold watch! To me, it is Blancapin at its Best! The timeless dial, the very elegant case and the perfect volumes of the whole watch are contributing to make a winner of this ...
Impressive, Jeff! A feast for the eyes!!!
What a wondeful watch! Congratulations!!! The 3/300 is not bad either Marcelo
Beautiful Watch
A Villeret is dintinctly missing from my collection. Great looking rotor and the dial exudes pure elegence And many thanks for sharing. A shot of my La Brassus with the classic date/day/mth + moonphase layout....
A Great Piece!
The Le Brassus Moon Phase GMT is a terrific watch and for that matter one that is produced in only very small quantities. I can't remember the last time I saw one for sale at an AD. Jeff
Charm, and taste
You also can't help but appreciate the logical calendar display and the crescent moon motif carried through.
