A good old friend's watch: Breguet Type XX.

Sep 03, 2022,16:40 PM
 

From the 70's and the Chaumet years. 


I remember when my friend and myself found it in a watch shop, in Paris, some 13 / 14 years ago? 






And his eyes when he saw that the watch also came with its box!



To be honest, I considered getting it for me, but when I saw how much he liked it, I let him deal with the seller. 

Still, I love this watch.

Good memories! 

Best,

Nicolas
