Breguet has been synonymous with Haute Horlogerie since the late eighteenth century, when A.L. Breguet set up shop in Paris catering to the timekeeping needs of the most influential representatives of the Parisian - and, after a little while, European - society: entrepreneurs, nobles, crowned heads (most famously, Queen Marie Antoinette which was the intended recipient of what is today considered the most important timepiece ever made: the Breguet Marie Antoinette).

The present timepiece represents a wonderful example of how this century-long tradition of excellence is upheld today, imbued with modern aesthetics, but always true to its roots. Specifically, the exquisite “grand feu” enamel dial follows the aesthetic canons of early Breguet timepieces (most notably, the unusual five minute markers and - obviously - the Breguet numerals); the case as well maintains the ribbed band and lugs design which are typical of Breguet’s style, but offers these detail in a modern 39.5mm incarnation.

Offered in close to “as-new” condition and complete of its original certificate and box, the present timepiece is an unmissable opportunity for the distinguished connoisseur of fine timepieces.
