Great capture mate! Very elegant piece.
Love the grand feu enamel dial, not to mention that sunken subdial to add that little bit of depth and character to what is already a gorgeous dial. Pity about the 40mm size, wished it was of a more classic proportion. I guess the thinness makes up for it. Wear it well! Cheers, K.
I've long admired these pieces
As of now I still prefer the more sunken and pronounced subdial of the 5140. Either piece, however, is pure class.
this works too! the 5 and 6 numerics are not cut off in any way. Usually the numbers get cut off my the recess dial and thats the part I don't like [nt]

this is each person's personal preference but here WG is more expensive by a few hundred bucks compared to RG [nt]

I always liked this one. For what it is, a superb and very elegant time keeper with an enamel dial at a time enamel watches were quite rare.
Now, one or two mm smaller would have been more my taste...
Best,

39mm would be perfect for me Nico. I worry anything smaller my old man eyes may have issues :-P [nt]

Depends.. Blue hands on a white enamel dial, that it a legible combination. But sadly, I know what you mean.... [nt]

Two splendid details for me. The white enamel dial which gives it a fantastic purity and the decentralised sub second dial. The little subtle detail which offers a slight modern touch to this timepiece. Really nice

same thoughts man hahaha! I felt the dimple second hand and the secret Brequet signature (@ 3 oclock)was very nicely done :-) [nt]

This one is really beautiful.
I recently tried it on. The email dial, the details, the thin-ness. It is simply a stunning looking dress watch. The only negative is the size, as I believe a 38mm would be better suited. With the 40mm dial, there is a lot of empty space, which is much more noticeable in the real. The fact that this emptiness is filled with the milky white enamel makes up for it somewhat.
Agreed.
A big fan of this watch, but 40mm and the lugs make it wear too large for me to use as a dress watch. The details are great though.
agreed on the size man but I think 40mm one can still carry it off. [nt]

A fair point. However, if you notice, Breguet made the numerals more bold and slightly larger versus the 5140 to take up the space better.
I think it really works, but each eye will have to judge.
Sounds like
A Breguet 5157 for you!
