As far as I am concerned, this is one of the most beautiful ever

Or in other words if I would ever be able to afford and find this Breguet I would buy it in a heartbeat.

Finding one would be difficult, affording it would be impossible. Must be around 200 K nowadays 
On the other hand its a bargain case if it were a Patek it would be 2 million or so.

Unfortunately google is not always your friend cause it seems to be damn hard to find a lot of info.
Perhaps a call to ALL manufactures: Why are you deleting info on watches that are no longer in production ?

According to Collectos Square 8 of these were sold during the last 20 years while some websites and dealers say only 3 or so were produced. I'm pretty sure it's more than 2 but tbh I have no idea what the real number could be.

...that I would love to know who was/is responsible for design at Breguet, because they deserve a lot of credit for keeping to the philosophy of Breguet himself and his pursuit of legibility matched with beauty on a watch dial. Baruch

I saw this ref for the first time when one recently came up for auction.

I was so enamored I literally registered to bid solely with the hopes that it would do as poorly as many other Breguet do in resale/auction. Nonetheless, it sold for more than I could possibly do. I think it is stunning and the brand in general sadly unde... 

There's a lot to love indeed, here.

In particular, I like very much the complex 3 o'clock subdial with jump hour, regular minutes and retrograde date. But, as I'm personally not fond of front tourbillons with a hole in the dial, this one isn't for me. All the more so as I don't fully respon...  

Love these too

Breguet has done a lot of very interesting watches like the one weird vertical MR tradition

It's a lovely watch except the minute repeater sounds awful!

There was once a young kid at a car event who waxed poetry about the Mercedes 500E (his favorite car) and how it was codeveloped and made at the Porsche factory, etc. and how it was a wonderful car. And I asked him if he had ever driven one yet. He said n... 

There are some good ones. But most sound pretty bad.

Sock full of nickels!?!? Rats. I have socks here, but no nickels to replicate the sound! I haven't heard that one before!

Have never seen this one...

...my only 'issue' is the date, with two dots between numbers. Maybe it's just me, but I find this very hard to read. I know...not the point of a watch like this. But for $200k I'd like my bases covered : )

This my friend is a absolute gorgeous and amazing Breguet πŸ‘ŒπŸ»πŸ˜
