With its Léman models, Blancpain have always aimed at presenting attractive watches with complicated movements. The very example is manufactured in a water resistance platinum case numbered No 1, to our knowledge the only watch manufactured in this configuration and therefore possibly unique. The watch feature not only a perpetual calendar with leap year indication and moon phases, but also a flyback chronograph. With a master movement made of 399 parts this is a true testament to the capabilities of the brand.
