Recently acquired vintage Ladies' 17 Jewel Blancpain - a few questions
Greetings,
I recently came across a ladies' vintage Blancpain watch (no band), and was curious if anyone on this forum may have information regarding the model.
I am not very familiar with watches in general, not especially a collector - and far from a connoisseur. However, this particular watch interested me, in that the case was actually slightly opened, and when I took a peek inside the 14K gold exterior - was virtually overwhelmed by the wonderful craftsmanship that was present in the inner works.
I began to do some research on Blancpain, and see now that this incredible workmanship comes from a manufacturer with an equally impressive history.
I took a few pictures in hope that perhaps someone might be able to recognize or provide some feedback on this piece!
Also, here are some inscriptions - as much as I could read, found from the inner casing and works:
Works read:
Unadjusted
Switzerland
Blancpain
17 Seventeen Jewels
RA
SF
Case reads:
14K (stamped)
105159 (stamped)
Inscribed by hand:
"17757BK"? (can not confirm lettering)
"A477"
"60059/25943" - which was preceded by something that appears to be lettering - possibly initials?
If anyone has any knowledge regarding the model, time period it was produced, and/or worth I would greatly appreciate any information! Thank you so much!!
