Catalogue Essay
- The Breguet reference 5335 Tourbillon Messidor is a contemporary homage to Abraham-Louis Breguet’s original tourbillon concept from 1801. The name "Messidor" commemorates the specific date of 7 Messidor, Year 9, on the old French Revolutionary calendar—marking the day the tourbillon was granted a patent.
- Encased in a 40mm platinum case, this timepiece exemplifies Breguet’s mastery of technical innovation and timeless design. As a Grande Complication watch, it showcases the intricate decoration and Haute Horlogerie craftsmanship synonymous with Breguet’s most celebrated complication.
- At the heart of the Tourbillon Messidor lies Breguet’s manual wound calibre 558 SQ2, developed and produced entirely in-house. This movement features Breguet's iconic tourbillon escapement, meticulously engineered to counteract the effects of gravity on precision, epitomizing Breguet's relentless pursuit of chronometric accuracy and perfection.
- The dial of the Tourbillon Messidor presents the hours and minutes in a minimalist style, allowing the skeletonized movement to take center stage.
- Preserved in excellent overall condition and accompanied by its original certificate, this exceptional watch, which has a retail price of HKD 1,556,600, is offered at a fraction of that price. It would be a superb addition to any collection focused on significant modern tourbillon watches, further enhancing Breguet’s legacy as a pioneer of horological complications.
