The 40mm case is crafted from white gold, with the caseband adorned with Breguet’s signature “coin-edge” fluting. A corrector at 10 o’clock allows for quick adjustment of the date. The sub-dial at 12 o’clock is plated in a deep blue, creating a significant contrast with the movement. The center of this sub-dial is decorated with hand-guilloché “Clous de Paris” hobnail patterning, paired with Roman numeral hour markers and classic Breguet hands. The retrograde date ring is also blue, and its unique “folded” pointer emphasizes the three-dimensionality of the movement.
The movement’s construction is fully visible from the dial side:
The mainspring barrel occupies the central position.
The balance wheel at 4 o’clock is equipped with the Breguet-designed “pare-chute” shock protection system.
The mainplate and bridges feature a dark grey coating and are sandblasted, highlighting the silver metallic finish of the rhodium-plated gears and the satin-brushed mainspring barrel.
It is powered by the self-winding Caliber 505Q, beating at 21,600 vibrations per hour and offering a 50-hour power reserve. The movement utilizes a silicon escapement for superior anti-magnetic properties. Viewing through the sapphire crystal caseback reveals the “anchor-shaped” winding rotor, inspired by Abraham-Louis Breguet’s perpétuelle watches from the 1780s.
It comes on a blue alligator leather strap. The official price is approximately 37,579 Euros.
