Invented in 1795 and patented in 1801, the tourbillon regulator remains the most famous and important of Abraham-Louis Breguet’s many inventions today. Since 1980, Breguet has started to produce a wide variety of wristwatches equipped with this famous tourbillon.

The current example brings together the firm's commitment to traditional design with high complications. A traditional silvered guilloche dial is enhanced by an open carriage tourbillon with perpetual calendar registers and retrograde date at 12 o'clock.
