Here is a quick preliminary photo of what just arrived. I've been enamored with Breguet for many years, and proudly own 2  (ref 7137 and 7337m at least 1 of which will likely be listed in the marketplace after this acquisition).  I have wanted a Breguet tourbillon for the longest time, as after all they are the inventor of what happens to be my very favorite complication. I looked at a few combination tourbillon-perpetual calendars, and decided that I really didn't want the combination as it just overly complicated things in my mind, plus I have other perpetuals. 

When my favorite and trusted dealer told me he acquired this piece out of a major collection in unworn condition, I knew I was in trouble.  He probably knew so too   I had looked at photos of the white gold version and this rose gold before, and at least to my purely subjective eye, I preferred the rose gold version. The 'ring' around the tourbillon in the white gold version to my eye just stands out too much in contrast.  Once I saw this in person, I realized photos don't do it justice. It's really something special.
