Wow! That's another superb one as well - not an easy decision. But these are the types of pieces I'd also love to own if funds were no issue (and still may, in time).
It is also very refreshing to come back to pieces like this from time to time, after over-exposure to the favorite Pateks and Rolexes of the social media. (Which, on their own, are also often nice pieces in a different way - but oh, all the hype, etc...)
Breguet 5247 White Gold Enamel Chronograph. Another obsession of mine.
Are I am alone to be obsessed by this Chronograph? Please don't tell me so... Best, Nicolas ...
Thanks! Looking good front and back.
As a small movement detail, like the free-sprung balance with the swan-neck style regulator.

This, and the Type XX, are Breguets I can get with,
Their other pieces are just too mature for me. I mean I can't deny their guilloche work, it is more of a design language thing with me for this brand.
The speedo on the dial
spiral wise, is much better than a speedo scale on a lunette. It looks almost the way Montblanc do with it’s chronograph.
Of course you are not alone.
Since quite a few years one of my favorites and a watch for the "special" and more festive occasions. Best regards, Gerard ...
I love Breguet's handwound chronos ...
... but this one, not so much. I'm kinda allergic to prominent tachymeters and this one, in red, dominates the center of the dial, obscuring the subregisters. I infinitely prefer the older 3237/5237 models: no tachymeter, simple blued hands on an exquisit...
Design-wise, yes ...
... basically the same the 3237/5237 but, myself, while I do in fact use my chronographs, I have no use for split-seconds, especially since most rattrapantes split only the seconds and not the minutes. Yeah, there is the Lange double-split which indisputa...
I am obsessed with so many Breguet pieces
But this chronograph is really a point of discussion. George
