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
Cal. 12''' mechanical jewelled lever movement
That's what say the dedicated auction pages, but 12''' only means 12 Lignes, which is a measure of the diameter of the movement, that's all... Best, Emmanuel
i knew i had seen this one before.
antiquorum sale at hotel des bergues geneva-sunday 14th april 1991 next to it is -a monsieur jullien ...
Modern, yet somehow aesthetically traditional,
or at least âexpectedâ from Breguet.
Well done!
Iâve found the online page: catalog.antiquorum.swiss e Thank you. Best, Emmanuel

the breguet-lemania history at that time should fit

You took a good example of a 1950 watch with complications. As i am go full into vintage, i was this week wondering to explore 50ties watches with complications. As a date is called a complication, i skip this phrase. Minimal beyond only a date, complicat...
And also a chronograph, donât you think?
Iâm 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 GĂŒbelin: 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? ...
