Breguet 2516, the first perpetual calendar wrist watch ever made?

 

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 markers. 

The perpetual calendar can be set by a single lever. 







This marvel is now part of the Breguet Museum. Which is a very good thing. 

Thanks to my contact at Breguet who sent me these pictures and informations. 

Best,

Nicolas
