BREGUET | CLASSIQUE TOURBILLON, REF 5317, PLATINUM TOURBILLON WRISTWATCH WITH POWER RESERVE INDICATION, CIRCA 2006

The Classique Collection takes great pride in showcasing the best features on which Breguet has built its undisputable reputation for more than 245 years. It encompasses all the design cues the illustrious brand is known for such as the thin and elongated lugs, the fluted case profiles and of course the intricate guilloché dials. 

The present Classique Tourbillon in platinum could not be a more fitting ambassador for Breguet, who invented himself the Tourbillon complication in 1801 and went on to produce the world's first wristwatch in 1810. The highly complicated Classique Tourbillon displays the signature twirling cage at 6 o'clock and a symmetrical power reserve indicator at 12, a useful complication to monitor the impressive 5-day power reserve. The dial itself displays 3 exquisite guilloché patterns and a silvered minute track, for an elegant and timeless feel. The timepiece is offered with its Certificate of Origin and instruction manual. Its current retail price stands at GBP 114'100, making this lot an extremely attractive opportunity to acquire a highly historically relevant timepiece at a fair price.
