Presented for the first time with a deeply lustrous Tahitian mother-of-pearl dial, the new Classique 9065 adds a touch of passion to Breguet’s classic style. Vermilion notes warm the composition, echoing the vibrant red of the ruby set on the crown. A delicate red heart adorns the gold of the second handout. The date is shown in cream numerals through a garnet window, while the iridescent red satin strap shimmers and accentuates the sparkling timepiece.
88 brilliant-cut diamonds illuminate the bezel of the fine rose gold case, and the lugs of the strap. The model beats to the rhythm of the self-winding mechanical movement, the manufacture Calibre 591 with 38 hours of power reserve.
Breguet’s Classique line takes inspiration from the most classic Breguet codes, dating back to the eighteenth century. The Breguet 3023 watch, sold in 1817 to the Duchess of Wellington and today exhibited in the Louvre, exemplifies Breguet’s timeless neo-classical style which has continued through to the Classique 9065.
The watch features open-tipped hands, that were conceived in 1783. Similarly, very delicate, powdered tracing make the Breguet Arabic numerals stand out. The model number is marked on the caseback along with the timepiece’s individual number (numbered from 01/28 to 28/28) which the owner can add to the Breguet registers – kept continuously since the 1780s.
