The Blancpain Chronograph Large Date represents a refined fusion of haute horlogerie, feminine elegance and mechanical precision.
Since introducing the world’s first self-winding women’s wristwatch in 1926, Blancpain has continuously elevated the standards of luxury watchmaking for women.
This 38mm chronograph model, unveiled at Baselworld, further reinforces the brand’s dedication to craftsmanship, diamonds and poetic design.

The Blancpain Chronograph Large Date features a stunning combination of
18K red gold, mother-of-pearl dial and brilliant-cut diamonds.
A total of 34 diamonds are symmetrically set around the central dial, separating the hours and minutes from the two chronograph subdials.
At 6 o’clock, the distinctive large date window uses two perfectly balanced semi-circular apertures, creating visual harmony while enhancing legibility.

The rounded bezel is paved with 40 additional brilliant-cut diamonds that catch the light beautifully from every angle.
The luxurious finishing, combined with its precious materials, makes this Blancpain Chronograph Large Date not only a precision instrument, but also an expressive piece of fine jewelry for the modern woman.

Inside beats the manufacture automatic movement Calibre 26F8G, consisting of 495 components and offering a power reserve of approximately 40 hours.
Through the sapphire crystal case back, wearers can admire the petal-shaped oscillating weight and hand-finished bridges — details normally reserved for high complications in men’s collections.

With its balanced proportions, reliable chronograph function and sparkling diamond setting,
the Blancpain Chronograph Large Date stands out as one of the most refined luxury ladies chronographs in modern watchmaking.
