Lot Essay

Brandon's Pick
The present Blancpain Milspec 1 Fifty Fathoms is in wonderfully original condition and was purchased recently from an estate auction. The previous and original owner was believed to have served in the United States military.
This watch is in great condition except for the loss of the moisture indicator on the dial. The original crystal was replaced recently to properly show the condition of the dial. The original crystal will be included along with the watch. Original and unmolested Blancpain Fifty Fathoms like the present example are highly sought after by collectors.
For more on the history of the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms, see the "Deconstructed" article on Christies.com.
