Pre-Owned Breguet Classique Regulator 40990305

WHY WE LOVE IT

–

Breguet makes the best dials in the biz. Yeah, we said it.

Their signature engine-turned dials, individually numbered and hand-finished, are simply beautiful works of art. You’d be hard-pressed to find such fine attention to detail in a watch costing many times what, say, a time-only or time-and-date model from the brand’s Classique line trades for.

Take this particular Classique, for example: A Reference 5187, it’s a Regulator model, meaning its hour and minute functions are separated on the dial like those of master timing clocks of the 18th and 19th century. Housed in a 35mm yellow gold case with a coin edge, a sapphire crystal, a signed crown, an exhibition caseback, and a polished bezel, it features an incredible ‘clous de Paris’ and checkerboard guilloché dial with an hour sub-dial at 12:00, an outer minute track, a blued Breguet-style handset, and a date window at 6:00.

Powered by the automatic Breguet Calibre 591 QSHD with 38 hours of power reserve, it comes paired to a brown alligator leather strap with an 18K yellow gold pin buckle. Well balanced, highly detailed, and utterly captivating, this dressy timepiece is a perfect example of the savoir faire that has made the Breguet maison a legendary name in watchmaking for over 200 years.

We know you’ll love it as much as we do!
