The Breguet Reine de Naples traces its origins to an era when timepieces served purely as functional tools, primarily in the form of pocket watches. In 1812, Caroline Murat, Queen of Naples, envisioned something revolutionary—a luxurious timepiece worn on the wrist. To bring her vision to life, she commissioned the esteemed watchmaker Abraham-Louis Breguet. Inspired by this historical moment, Breguet introduced the "Reine de Naples" collection in 2002, paying homage to the original wristwatch created for the Queen. The collection maintains its signature elegance with its distinctive ovoid, egg-shaped case.
On the wrist, the Reine de Naples 8928 is both elegant and commanding—a true statement piece. Beyond its historical significance, it is a masterpiece for any discerning collector. We are delighted to offer this exceptional timepiece, complete with its original accessories.
