Beautiful Hand Engraved (engine-turned) Silver Dial. Roman Numeral Hour Markers. Blued "Breguet" Style Hands. 45 Hour Power Reserve. Automatic winding also winds BOTH the time keeping portion of the watch AND the alarm mechanism portion of the watch! The dial alone is extraordinary! Featuring multiple different guilloche styles!
Retail price is approximately $39,700 US dollars. Watch is a current model.
Function check was performed by myself. I tested the timekeeping of the watch, watch keeps good time; the alarm was tested, alarm works properly, alarm setting works properly, alarm rings loudly and through the entire power reserve band; watch winds correctly and consistently on the automatic winder; GMT function works properly and the date change works in both direction (including reverse date). I have not tested power reserve, but am testing that now and should be done by 16-Aug-2023.
Watch is in good to very good condition. Strap shows the watch has been used, but considering the condition, it is indicated that the user was very careful. Dial is in excellent condition, no spots nor indications of moisture penetration. This dial also has several different types of guilloche and is an exquisite work of art in itself. Watch does not appear to be significantly polished if at all. Clasp does not have any major scratches. The "B" logo on the crown seems to be in good condition and very acute which suggests the watch is not polished (they lose their acuity and definition even after a single polish). The edge of the bezel and the fluted case band also suggest thew watch has not seen any heavy polishing if at all. Watch is sold without box and papers. Original Breguet Strap (will need to be replaced) and Original Gold Deployant buckle (gold buckle is in very good condition, no major scratches). Watch has some minor wear, but no major dents or scratches.
In need of a quick sale, 21-Aug-2023 or sooner. I can provide insured shipping at cost. Watch is being shipped from USA. For international shipping, obviously you'll have to be prepared for possible customs duty when the watch enters your country.
At this price, this is a lot of watch for not too much money relative to the original MSRP. It's a fun watch, an interesting watch, with a lot of interesting features all combined into an elegant case. The best part is that the automatic winding system winds BOTH the time-keeping mechanism AND the alarm, which makes the alarm a lot more usable. Alarm is also VERY LOUD.
Bezel has some light surface wear. But no major deep scratches.
The "B" logo on the crown is very acute and well defined, suggesting that the watch has not been heavily polished.
This is the case band at the 9 o'clock side. Most people rest their watch down on this side and watches are generally scratched or flattened here. Not with this watch though! Which shows this watch was carefully worn.
Movement looks wonderful. No indication of any moisture on the dial nor on the movement. No evidence of staining.
