Breguet

I just got myself the Lange Datograph a few weeks back and I am thinking of getting a perpetual calender. I've been looking at the Patek 5159 but am not sure of that.

While at my AD, he suggested that I also consider the Breguet 5327 in WG as well. Just wondering what your thoughts are of this as a perpetual calender. I want something that I can hand down to my kids and for a perpetual, something that is not too hard to read (getting older and my eyesight is going

I also want to eventually get a tourbillon and am also looking at the 3757 in platinum. I know Bregiet was the inventor of tourbillon so I guess I can;t go far wrong with Breguet as far as Tourbillons go?

All thoughts and suggestions (even outside of Breguet) appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

... (I am a bit classic in choosing YG, being faithful to A. Breguet's choises but chaqun a son gout, as Nicolas would say) I have to say that it is a very beautiful watch, thin, with all the classic indications of a perpetual calendar and an unbelievable back display....

Yes.  The back display is incredible even to my untrained eye.

I'm leaning more towards the Breguet 5327 over the 5159. Somehow, it seems less "tiring" on my eye but that is very subjective.  The Patek 5159 catches when you first look at it but when I look at it for a longer period of time, it seems to "wear faster" on me.

The Breguet also looks more "formal" to me and that is also what I al looking for ie, a nice time piece for formal events.

The eventual decison will take some months to come.  I took about 7 months to finally decide on the Datograph and I have a feeling the trigger for my Perpetual Calender will take about that long too.

Nice to know that "perpetual calender technolgy" was also founded by Breguet.  At least that is what I thought I deciphered from their website.
