Shortys home provides an intimate look at the Breguet Classique Ref. 5177 with its stunning blue Grand Feu enamel dial, showcased during an exhibition at the International Maritime Museum in Hamburg. His detailed photography captures the watch's modest charm under indirect light and its true character when exposed to direct light, inviting readers to appreciate its subtle elegance and discuss its controversial date window.

Breguet is currently showing its Marine collection and the 2019 novelties in a two week exhibition at the International Maritime Museum in Hamburg... an opportunity I did not want to miss. Kindly enough I was able to spend two hours with the watches to take photos, and of course I will share the outcome with you.

In this post I will get closer to the Classique 5177 in a 40mm white gold case with 8,8mm height, powered by Calibra 777Q and defined by its stunning blue Grand Feu enamel dial.





The first encounter is characterised by the modest charme of the watch, the blue dial holds itself back in the shadow and under indirect light, with shades of dark blue into almost black...









When you get closer and expose the watch to direct light, its true character starts to unveil...











The case is well known from previous Classique models, as are the straight lugs.





Let us take a look at the backside of this compelling new Breguet:









To me the Breguet 5177 comes across as a very elegant timepiece, embodying many insignia of the Manufacture. Only upon close scrutiny and under certain light conditions it reveals the sensation of the Grand Feu dial with truly beautiful details. The one controversial element is the date, which differentiates this reference from the Ginza Edition ref 5175.
The positioning of the date window can be actively debated, the execution however is a perfect fit with the grained enamel dial.




I hope you enjoyed the photos. In the next few days there will be another photo report on the Marine models and other novelties.

Cheers

About the Breguet Classique Ref. 5177

The Breguet Classique reference 5177 represents an automatic entry within the Classique collection, distinguished by its 38mm case proportions and rose gold construction. This reference utilizes automatic movement technology within the traditional Classique aesthetic framework.

The 38mm case is crafted from 18k rose gold and houses an automatic movement. The silver dial provides contrast against the warm gold case material. Sapphire crystal protects the dial surface, while the watch maintains 30 meters of water resistance. The bezel design remains fixed in position.

Reference 5177 appeals to collectors seeking automatic movement functionality within traditional dress watch proportions. The 38mm case size positions this reference for those preferring mid-sized case dimensions, while the rose gold construction and silver dial combination offers specific aesthetic preferences within the broader Classique automatic range.
