Up for sale or trade is my recently purchased Blancpain Fifty Fathoms 50th Anniversary. I realized my other Fifty Fathoms has a bit too much overlap to justify both, but I had to try this watch as the opportunity to own this reference is exceedingly rare.
This watch is the 50th anniversary Fifty Fathoms, which was released in 2003 as a limited run of 150 pieces in 3 series. This is numbered 25/50 and is part of series II. It comes in a perfect 40mm case size and considering the new 70th anniversary is 42mm, I am doubtful we will see many 40mm references being released.
A writeup of this reference can be found here:

The original listing is here:
The condition of this watch is very good as it has been well cared for over the years. The bracelet has some swirls/scratches as can be expected. The watch itself has a few marks on the case sides, but nothing major. Crystal and bezel are perfect.
It comes as a VERY complete kit, including the following:
- huge outer box
- display flashlight and stand
- manuals, warranty booklet
- service pouch
- all parts from servicing (dial, rotor, date wheel, some bridges, etc.)
- rubber dive strap
- strap changing station
- X71 bracelet with all links
- Blancpain microfibre cloth
This watch received a full service in 2017 by Blancpain and as mentioned the parts replaced are included. It is running exceptionally well. Also included is a custom made canvas NATO made by Terry Crafted.
I am mainly looking for a sale on this piece, but of course will be open to interesting trades. This is an exceptional opportunity for the Blancpain enthusiast or anyone who appreciates arguably the best dive watch made (I am somewhat biased
). I will be asking exactly as the previous listing at $25 000 shipped to you.
