  • Catalogue Essay

    With a proud heritage and partnership between the two firms, Breitling’s association with the world of motoring started in the early 20th century. With a relationship dating back over 70 years, the Breitling family were loyal clients and passionate collectors of Bentley automobiles. To commemorate the friendship between the two firms, Breitling established a specific line dedicated to Bentley inspired timepieces, which still thrives till date.

    Released in 2014, the Breitling Bentley GMT Light Body B04 features a large 49mm diameter titanium case with a chronograph function, dual time with a city disc and a date function powered by the firm’s in-house chronometer certified cal. B04. Featuring a self-winding rotor designed to mimic the wheels as seen in the Bentley Continental GTC, the watch certainly delivers a speedy appeal.

    The present timepiece is offered with no reserve and in new old stock condition accompanied by its full set of accessories consigned by the original owner.

  • 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.
