Breguet novice - help requested please
Hi all,
I'm looking to buy this watch for my wife on our anniversary, but I've never purchased a pre-owned piece before and I don't have much knowledge of Breguet.

The store was also unable to confirm its age, calibre or power reserve.
I also searched the Breguet website but I could not find this item.
Any help would be much appreciated.
