A testament to Breguet's everlasting aesthetic.

Breguet is one of the very best at maintaining this brand aesthetic.

According to Breguet archives, this watch has been made in 1929 and sold a few years after, in 1934, to a big fan of the brand. Here you have a 39 x 26 mm white gold Tonneau case. The dial is made in silver, with its unmistakable Breguet hands and hours m...

My only disappointment on reading your post was to discover that it's not in current production!

Perhaps you can prevail on your contact at Breguet...

What an absolutely beautiful piece. The very epitome of class. As others have said, it belongs in every decade since it was designed until now. I wish they would release it again. Thank you, Wojo

Amazing piece

Visionary design. Do you have any information as to why it took so long from manufacture to actual purchase? Thank you for posting this superb watch.

Would love to see some wrist shots, please! Best. René

An absolutely magnificent watch...

...but not the first perpetual calendar wristwatch. That honor belongs to Patek #97975, originally made as a ladies' pendant watch that went unsold, and was re-cased in 1925 as a wristwatch and sold in 1927.
