Blancpain Villeret Ultra-Slim 5015B – 18K Yellow Gold Silver Roman Dial
The Purest Form Of The Dress Watch
Blancpain's Villeret collection is the brand's most traditional line, focusing on slim profiles and timeless aesthetics. This example, produced in the 1990s, features the signature double-stepped bezel in 18k yellow gold. The silver dial with Roman numerals is a layout that has remained a constant in the brand's catalog for good reason.
Early Production And Refined Design
This model specifically is an exceptionally early production piece from the (semi) modern era when Blancpain was re-establishing itself as a leader in mechanical watchmaking. The 18k yellow gold construction provides a warmth that complements the silvered dial. It's a watch that relies on the quality of its materials and the balance of its proportions rather than visual gimmicks or over-designed elements.
Honest Condition With Original Accessories
The watch is in overall good condition. The 18k yellow gold case retains the original definition of the stepped bezel. The silver dial is clean overall, though there is a small mark near the 9 o'clock that is only visible under close inspection. The crystal is perfect. This piece remains on its original leather strap with the signed 18k gold buckle. After passing our test bench, the automatic movement is confirmed to be running strong.
A Refined Choice For The Classicist
At 33mm, this watch is designed for those who appreciate traditional proportions. It sits flat against the wrist and slides easily under a cuff, making it an ideal choice for formal wear or a sophisticated daily driver. It offers the prestige of a solid gold Blancpain with a very low production number, providing a level of pedigree that is difficult to match. It's a quiet and confident timepiece for someone who values substance over hype.

What Our Clients Say About Us
I knew I was gonna like Danny, based on his name, but nothing could’ve prepared me for how great of an experience this was. He had the most beautiful 70s Seamaster Cosmic on his website and I was set to be married 2 days later - I arranged to buy it but before leaving we both realized it needed to be serviced. I panicked, because I was literally buying this for my wedding, and Danny being the legend he is, loaned me a nearly identical Seamaster to make sure I could get through the event Never have I had someone go so above and beyond for me, especially while purchasing one of the lesser priced items in their inventory. He serviced my watch and exchanged it with me after the wedding on a super fast turnaround timeline. I would sincerely recommend you visit this guy, you will not be disappointed Edit: adding a pic of the loaner (two tone) and the owner (crosshair)
Great service and shop. Danny and his team were incredibly accommodating, professional, and kind. Great selection of vintage watches. Their store is the hidden gem in the diamond district.
This was my first real luxury watch purchase, a Rolex 15200 Date 34mm, I own Tissots and a Laco, but those are entry level luxury watches. I found Danny’s Vintage Watches online, and had great feedback both on Google, Chrono24 and the Reddit watch community. So decided to give him a shot as buying online can be a crap shoot. Ordered Monday night, was at my doorstep Friday morning. Despite the watch being over 30 years old, serial number says it’s from 91, the watch looked new. Didn’t come with box or papers, and was shipped in a plastic sleeve wrapped in bubble wrap. Danny was always available to answer questions. I’ll be buying from Danny again for the next purchase…saw a couple of Speedmasters on his site I liked….
Can't recommend Danny's vintage watches enough!!! My first Omega ever and im in love have been wearing every day since I purchased it. Danny's shop is a must visit if you are in NYC looking for a watch!!!
