A Golden Interpretation of UltraFino
The UltraFino Gold Edition reimagines Bianchet’s ultra-thin tonneau-shaped tourbillon in a precious 18K rose gold case. This new Bianchet timepiece is available in two distinct versions: the first features an integrated gold bracelet for seamless elegance and continuity of form. In contrast, the second boasts a black rubber strap with a matching gold pin buckle, offering a sportier yet refined aesthetic.
The UltraFino Gold Edition timepiece is powered by the in-house Calibre UT01, an automatic ultra-thin tourbillon movement crafted from titanium and finished with a striking black PVD coating, which enhances visual contrast against the warmth of the gold.
The Calibre UT01: Ultra-Thin Mastery with Everyday Strength
Weighing only 8 grams and resisting shocks of up to 5000 Gs at just 3.85 mm thick, the automatic movement UT01 epitomises Bianchet’s pursuit of lightness, strength, and elegance. Its flying tourbillon, positioned at 6 o’clock, is entirely crafted from titanium, showcasing the maison’s technical virtuosity. The main plate and bridges are elegantly finished by hand in Bianchet’s Swiss atelier, with more than 15 hours devoted to traditional hand-beveling. Techniques such as anglage, mirror polishing, satin brushing, and sand blasting highlight the artisanal craft behind each detail.
To echo the warm tones of the 18K gold case, the hour markers and hands are also coated in rose gold. This harmony of color enhances the watch's refinement while ensuring perfect legibility: the golden hands stand out with striking clarity against the deep black of the movement, allowing time to be read at a glance.
The titanium structure of the movement ensures unwavering strength, despite the calibre’s extreme thinness. At the same time, the deep black PVD finish cloaks the mechanism in a contemporary elegance that heightens its sculptural presence. The 18K gold rotor, shaped into twelve interlacing Fibonacci spirals, embodies the Maison’s Golden Ratio design signature.
Engineered for modern life, the UltraFino Gold Edition endures water resistance to 50 meters while offering exceptional shock resistance.The result is not only an icon of elegance but also a tourbillon conceived to be lived with, worn with ease and confidence every day.
A Collection of Harmony
The UltraFino Gold Edition joins the 2025 UltraFino collection, which explores architectural harmony, geometric proportions, and the Golden Ratio, which is at the core of Bianchet’s design philosophy.
