An unusual Breguet
This 35 mm Breguet Triple Calendar No. 1039, sold on 16 December 1952, looks a bit like a Vacheron Constantin or a Jaeger-LeCoultre from the same era. But, what a beautiful watch! It was sold at Antiquorum in 1991 and later at Christie's in 2016 and again...
The traditional Breguet coin edge signature is definitely missing.
But this watch seems to have been intended as "different". Best, Emmanuel

Well done!
I’ve found the online page: catalog.antiquorum.swiss e Thank you. Best, Emmanuel

And also a chronograph, don’t you think?
I’m glad you like this Breguet too. Best, Emmanuel
Chronographs are too much bells and wristlets for me
I like more special solutions for circumstances.
found a movement(nothing special) photo for 1039-who can correctly identify?
looks like a Adolph.Schild (A.S) made movement but which calibre? ...
Thanks for sharing these photos from Fratello.
Such a pity that they say nothing about the calibre. I've found a photo of a caliber with the same architecture belonging to a Uti Blancpain: www.proantic.com . And another signed Gübelin: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/176540494324 But I'm still unable to id...
the gubelin calibre is G7017-stamped on the barrel bridge-from a two hand watch.
what is the base calibre? ...
