  • Catalogue Essay

    The present Breitling Premier B01 Chronograph 42 for Bentley was released in 2019 made in partnership with the English automobile manufacturer. With a long relationship between the two firms, Breitling has created many models for Bentley over their relationship of 70 years.

    Encased in a sleek and robust 42mm diameter stainless steel case, the present example features a beautifully executed British racing green sunburst dial. Powering the watch is the firm’s first ever self-winding in-house chronograph cal. B01 which is up to chronometer standards.

    Consigned by the original owner and complete with its full set of accessories and further preserved in excellent overall condition, it is the perfect timepiece for Bentley owners to sport while on the track or on coastal roads in their Continental GT.

  • Artist Biography

    Breitling

    Swiss • 1884

    The firm started by Leon Breitling in 1884 is best known for its technical aviation and oceanic watches. Today, all models are outfitted with certified chronometer movements, used for accurate timing. Early aviation pioneers in specialized chronograph timepieces, Breitling introduced the circular slide rule to watches in the 1940s for use by pilots. The firm’s most iconic chronograph, the Navitimer, was introduced in 1954 and continues to be manufactured today. Another key model is the Duograph, a split-seconds chronograph that was Breitling's most prestigious wristwatch during the 1940s through '60s. Their watches are built on their reputation for precision and sturdiness.
