The present Classique encapsulates many of the most celebrated and distinguishable characteristic of Breguet's savoir faire that have come to be synonymous with elegant dress watches. With its coin-edged case, straight lugs featuring screw-down bars, sapphire cabochon and the iconic silvered guilloché dial with its distinctive 'pomme creuse' hands the present watch is the perfect example of Breguet's unique understanding of horological elegance. These features, particularly characteristic of the Investcorp era (1987-1999), have attracted many collectors in a re-evaluation of Breguet's timeless elegance.
