  • Catalogue Essay

    - Grand feu enamel dials have always captured connoisseur’s heart with its delicate nuance, and the present Breguet ref. 5177 is certainly a charming example of such. Fluted coin edged caseband, thin straight lugs crafted in 18K white gold, the timepiece is perfectly sized at 38mm diameter and wears with absolute comfort on the wrist thanks to its thin profile.

    - Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication, this is the exact charm of the ref. 5177. Calming yet pleasing, the grand feu white enamel dial demands attention to detail from its maker.

    - Carefully thought-out, each element on the dial lives in harmony with each other. The black thin feather like Breguet numerals works well with its petite minute markers that alternates with diamond and star shapes. The black Breguet signature at 12 o’clock is equally beautiful as the secret signature at 6 o’clock. Such signatures have been a feature of Breguet timepieces since 1795.

    - While time is indicated by the blued steel open tipped hands, date can be read from the trapezoid date aperture that adds a modern touch to the overall very classic dress watch.

    - Powered by the calibre 777Q beating at 4Hz, the timepiece has a power reserve of 55 hours. For those who love the famed guilloché by Breguet, the 18K white gold rotor decorated with a beautiful wave guilloché finish will satisfy your needs.

    - Presented in excellent overall condition and accompanied by all its accessories, this Breguet Classique 5177 strips down to the necessary with the utmost elegance.

  • Artist Biography

    Breguet

    Swiss • 1775

    Established in 1775 by Abraham Louis Breguet, widely considered the greatest watchmaker of all time, the storied brand continues to thrive in the modern era, creating exceptional high-end watches as the Swatch Group's premier prestige brand. Some of the most important and lasting inventions in watchmaking are attributed to Abraham Louis Breguet, including the tourbillon, shock resistance and the use of hammers and gongs employed in nearly all minute repeating watches made since.

    Eighteenth and nineteenth century Breguet pocketwatches are especially sought-after by collectors, and many of them were made for the elite of European society, including Napoléon and Marie Antoinette. Key wristwatches from the twentieth century include oversized dress watches, two-register chronographs, triple calendars and Type XX aviator's chronographs made for the French military and civilians.
