Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe 5000-0130-B52A

Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe 5000-0130-B52A A stealth, all-black expression of one of diving's most important watches. The Bathyscaphe in this configuration pairs a lightweight 43mm case with a black dial, ceramic bezel, and a sporty canvas-style strap — a modern, technical take on the Fifty Fathoms heritage that wears beautifully under a cuff or over a wetsuit. Presented in very good pre-owned condition with original papers dated 2024. Condition: Very good pre-owned condition with no notable issues visible — please refer to the macro photography for the most accurate representation. Set & Documentation: Watch with original Blancpain warranty card. Year: 2024 MSRP: The MSRP for this watch is $16,700. Technical Description The 43mm case carries the unmistakable Bathyscaphe silhouette — slim lugs, a domed sapphire crystal, and a unidirectional rotating bezel with a black ceramic insert and luminous markers. The black dial is clean and highly legible, with applied hour markers, sword-style hands, a discreet date window at 4:30, and crisp "Fifty Fathoms" and "Bathyscaphe" script flanking the center. A signed crown sits at the right flank, complementing the case's tool-watch proportions. On the wrist, the watch is paired with a black canvas-style strap with matching stitching, giving it a sporty, modern character that suits the all-black aesthetic. Driven by a Blancpain automatic movement, this is a true purpose-built diver dressed in the most contemporary skin Blancpain offers — equally at home with a suit, a hoodie, or a 5mm neoprene sleeve.
