My best picture of the Breguet Classique 5177 White Gold Enamel Blue Dial.

A watch which was unveiled in 2019 and which made a strong impression on me. If it didn't have a date, I would have probably already jumped on it. A jewel. Best, Nicolas ...  

A beauty

LOL!

For you we can do it.

:))))

Ha, but

The font, size, ink, vertical plane, and even background, are all different. So, in real life, this is not an issue.

You are so right!

 
 By: Spangles - Dr. Tabby : February 4th, 2022-13:04
And it breaks the tyranny of symmetry (a phrase I'm coining!). In all seriousness, it's a beautiful watch and so nice to wear. ...  

A beauty indeed…

… the texture of the dial and the subtle signature over the 6 are mesmerizing. Cheers Henrik ...  

LOL! Good one!

 
 By: amanico : February 4th, 2022-10:48

It’s a very alluring watch

 
 By: Cookies : February 4th, 2022-10:27
Something in it, makes one of my watch collector friend from Canada, melt. Totally melt… I saw this piece in real life. I never forgot it. It is special.

Or at least over the 6?

 
 By: MTR : February 5th, 2022-15:09
As a counterbalance to the "Breguet" lettering above?

Naaaah! :))))

 
 By: amanico : February 5th, 2022-15:10

Hehehehe!

 
 By: MTR : February 5th, 2022-15:12
Desperate suggestions, I know. But even that would look better, I think.

I have an easy fix! Just find one of the LE's with no date!

 
 By: BigFatPauli : February 4th, 2022-11:35
Good luck with that... It's probably sitting in a drawer next to my future Type XX.

One can dream though!

 
 By: BigFatPauli : February 4th, 2022-11:38
The worst part of the LE is that it pretty much cements the idea that Breguet will not make a regular production version sans date.

Don't get my hopes up! That would be a dream!

 
 By: BigFatPauli : February 4th, 2022-13:12
Now just change the caliber to a manual wind and I'm reaching for my charge card

Well, I'm not too vworried about the Breguet being made so....

 
 By: BigFatPauli : February 4th, 2022-23:18
Post to your hearts content with regard to Type XX's!! Though, in all honesty, I think I have my next watch all picked out. It is, shall I say, a wise choice.

Which next watch?

 
 By: amanico : February 5th, 2022-05:21

Ha! Among others! ;)

 
 By: amanico : February 5th, 2022-13:59

For sure among others but...

 
 By: BigFatPauli : February 5th, 2022-14:12
I may have something (hopefully) big to celebrate this year so it's appropriate. I am still considering which version, but I am leaning towards the GBLT997.

What is the GBLT997?

 
 By: amanico : February 5th, 2022-14:12

This;

I see, the Credor!

 
 By: amanico : February 5th, 2022-14:16

Could you suggest to Breguet a similar LE with a blue guilloché dial?

 
 By: Spangles - Dr. Tabby : February 4th, 2022-13:30
If you ask, I'm sure they will listen! 1775-2025, 250 anniversary LE!

I wish I had some, too!

 
 By: Spangles - Dr. Tabby : February 4th, 2022-15:00
Maybe nico has, though?

THAT would be great.

 
 By: amanico : February 4th, 2022-17:01

Agreed, here.

 
 By: amanico : February 4th, 2022-12:49

One of my favorite Breguets.

 
 By: jlux : February 4th, 2022-12:32
In this case the date is not too disturbing for me. I strongly considered this watch for my collection but personally found the size to be a bit too small for my taste.

One of my favorites, too!

 
 By: Spangles - Dr. Tabby : February 4th, 2022-13:06
A watch I love wearing! ...  

Too cool, my lucky friend.

 
 By: amanico : February 4th, 2022-17:01

You find it too small?

 
 By: amanico : February 4th, 2022-22:03

Beautiful watch

 
 By: pmh6000 : February 4th, 2022-12:39

Thanks for commenting.

 
 By: amanico : February 4th, 2022-12:50

A stunner indeed! 😍

 
 By: Centurionone : February 4th, 2022-16:51

Thanks for looking, T.

 
 By: amanico : February 4th, 2022-22:02

Wonderful!

 
 By: MTR : February 4th, 2022-17:21
I had the chance to look at the version with blue enamel dial and Tourbillon two weeks ago. The dial is live even more impressing than on pictures. I think they solved the date indication quite well, but I agree with you that it would be even better witho... 

Here is the Ginza limited edition. Same but no date.

Gorgeous!!

This would be the Breguet I would buy immediately. Without thinking one second. Best Thomas

We simply have the better taste 😉

 
 By: MTR : February 5th, 2022-15:00
Seriously speaking, my AD told me once that searching for watches without date indication is a “minority program”. For many potential buyers and interested persons a watch without a date display is much less appealing.

But there often would be

 
 By: MTR : February 5th, 2022-15:07
so much nicer ways to show the date if they (really) tried hard. Someone should invent a date indicator on the back. Like PR indications for example.

That's a good suggestion.

 
 By: amanico : February 5th, 2022-15:08

I would join immediately!

 
 By: MTR : February 5th, 2022-09:17
🤤

Me too, most probably.

 
 By: amanico : February 5th, 2022-09:47

Ahh lovely blu dial

 
 By: Ping.Timeout : February 21st, 2022-10:40
Is this enamel dial?

Yes, it is.

 
 By: amanico : February 21st, 2022-10:56

Sleeping on it sounds much better

 
 By: Ping.Timeout : February 24th, 2022-09:58
At least for now

Naaah! :)))

 
 By: amanico : February 24th, 2022-17:15

Time to save for next piece

 
 By: Ping.Timeout : February 24th, 2022-22:28

Yep!

 
 By: amanico : February 24th, 2022-22:28

between this & the white enamel grand-feu - which one do you prefer ?

 
 By: mahesh : March 21st, 2022-19:58
and why ? I agree the date-window irks a bit...the dial is done in great taste & someone thought let us add a 'date window' - we should find that person ;-) Best, mahesh.,

I just came across this post, as I am quite interested in this model

 
 By: Boris : October 22nd, 2022-08:11
It's a great picture of a sensational model, Nico. I hear you regarding the date, and the consensus here is that the Ginza limited edition is purer / nicer. I thought so too as well initially, but strangely this date is growing on me. If it had been just ...
