Famed as one of the most influential brands to ever operate within the watchmaking industry, Breguet are renowned for their incredible contributions to horology. Founded by Abraham-Louis Breguet in 1775, Breguet is acclaimed for inventing the tourbillon, Breguet hands and numerals, the Breguet Overcoil, and a litany of other inventions that are still used today. Aside from their complicated offerings, Breguet also produced some of the finest classically styled timepieces on the market. Their vintage manual-wind timepieces are known for their stunning classical design, beautifully decorated dials, and impeccably finished and engineered movements. Nothing short of perfect, these vintage manual wind Breguet timepieces are reminiscent of true horology in its purest form. The distillation of watchmaking, these timepieces offer a window into Breguet's raw watchmaking talent in a package that doesn't distract the wearer with modern conveniences; instead, they shock and awe their bearer with their captivating aesthetic and impeccable watchmaking prowess.

The overall condition of the watch is very good. Original guilloche dial is untouched with only minor aging evident. Case is in excellent shape and still retains a strong hallmark, Breguet signature, as well as serial number. Crown may be a later replacement, but it was pictured with same crown when it was sold at auction in 2005. (See link to previous sales result) Strap and buckle are not original to the watch.

Please Note: Due to CITES considerations, if the watch is to be shipped outside of the USA, an alternative leather strap to the existing exotic skin version, shall be provided.

A classic Breguet dress-watch is something every collector should have in their collection. Whilst the size of this watch is somewhat small by today's standards, with a beautiful guilloche dial and classic empire style case, it makes a massive statement of impeccable taste.
