Congratulations on the arrival of your NOS Breguet Classique 5140.

It truly is a stunning watch for all of the many reasons you have highlighted and as someone with a newly found appreciation for less is more watches this one is just sublime with everything done just so well. Breguet is sometimes I feel overlooked for ju

Recent NWA - Breguet 5140 and I could not be happier!

Such a beautiful yet so simple watch. The enamel dial is absolutley perfect especially since it's all handpainted. I'm told by a professional that it's not as difficult to do all the lettering by hand (even the Swiss Email Grand Feu at the bottom) as it a

Visited the Breguet museum in Paris

I was in Paris last week and visited the Breguet museum in Place Vendôme. For those of you who haven’t gone, it’s a great stop for Breguet lovers. The staff is very knowledgable and happy to chat about all things Breguet. Here are some of the watches that

I am in love with this watch. To me, this Breguet 5140 is what I consider a “romantic” watch. The beautiful crisp

white grand feu enamel dial with those contrasting slender yet detailed beautiful blued Breguet hands, together with what might look like a hand painted minute track all come together to create a symphony of elegance and class. It’s almost as if I can ima

What a coincidence

Not the moon phase complication, but Breguet. I just ready with searching which Breguet would be great for my collection. 5140 is for me a watch to look for. Many types available from small seconds, central seconds, case material, dial arts, and so on.

I dead agree

It was on my list for the longest while. I think its iconic, and to my knowledge the first to put the subseconds in such an interestingly elegant spot... can anyone opine? I also much prefer the seconds dial here over the Chrono Bleu spot, and if I had to

The hand made guilloche of the Breguet 5140

The hairline on the white surface of the dial is actually not on the dial. It is a reflection of an almost invisible scratch on the glass. George

This is real problem with Breguet.

It’s so difficult to choose. Thank You for this photos, it’s excellent comparisons of variants. I understand You dilemma, when I was looking for Breguet 5140, couldn’t decide between dial variants. Still can’t. Now, with 5177, it’s even harder. From one h

Fantastic! Just so happens, I tried this on at the Breguet boutique this last Friday

I wanted to see how I liked the two Classiques I was interested in: this enamel 7147 vs the rose-engine-engraved-dial 5140. Funny, but watches look different on my wrist than they do sitting on a jeweler's tray. On the tray, the 5140 looked more interesti
