Hi Kong, great report again and stunning pictures
of the dial, revealing the richness of the enamel and true character of this piece. The balance of the face is excellent, even with so many things going on. These are also my favorite hands and fit this watch perfectly. It would be great to get a sound bite on the alarm, something I have not heard, maybe too much to ask. Nice work. Thanks for the report.

Reveil du Tsar Enamel Boutique Edition
The Reveil du Tsar launched in 2003 with seven types of guilloché pattern is still alluring till today, and this classic is reconstructed with an enamel dial in pink gold-case to be the new boutique exclusive edition. Understand this is a second shipment,...
stunning
I had the original and that was beautiful, but this is stunning. Does it come in white gold?... I also have had the Enamel 5140, another stunning watch..Yuo cannot beat Enamnel dials....
At the moment ...
Hi Gimly Current only PG is available. Thanks for viewing and the comment. 5140 is simply stunning! Kong

Thanks Tim ...
for the kind words. How have you been? Can't agree with you more. As for the sound, see if the piece is still around. Saw your nice VC Chronographs Coming over soon? Kong
Greatissime idea from Breguet, IMO.
A Reveil du Tsar with an enamel dial, now that is what this watch deserved. It enhances its retro loo in a delicious way. To be seen in the flesh... Quickly. Any chance to have a white metal version? Thanks for the info! Best, Nicolas
Most popular question!
Hi Nico Nearly everyone asked the same question ....about in white metal! So far only heard it is in PG. Hopefully Breguet hear the request for WG. Thanks for viewing. Kong
Great Post
Thanks Great post - its always nice to see posts on alarm watches. I know virtually nothing about Breguet - do they do other alarm watches? What does it sound like? Does it use a gong like in JLCs? Cheers JML
Yes, they have ...
Hi JML Another of the alarm model is the Marine Royale 5847. Some pictures here : breguet.watchprosite.com However, the sound files were invalid as the hosting provider has exited. Will try to prepare alternative way to host sound files. Alarm sou...
Fantastic post and brilliant pictures Kong
I love this watch. The enamel dial and blue hands are irresistable. You got me drooling... Would want to see it (quickly) in the flesh. Thanks. Sam
I love any modern watches with a vintage look Kong :)
especially with the beautiful enamel dial, gorgeous blue hands and Roman numerals... I am sure the piece will sing to me - I will definitely pay a visit to the boutique in TST and let you know my impression but it will have to be the second half of Octobe...
That is nice!
My only nit to pick is the way the RdM hand drops a bit over the 24h subdial at full wind, I wish it stayed a bit above, it spoils the perfection, if only a small bit A
Did not notice till you highlighted ...
Thanks A. Sharp observation! Perhaps they are aware of it too, as the two subdials are of different diameter Kong
I'm not sure what to make of it.
First impression was "Wow" which very quickly neutralized. THe case is all Breguet but the dial layout is... not so to me.
Could you articulate...
what about the layout that does not work for you? Keen to hear your inputs, my friend. Thanks. Kong
Well... I know this is an
enamel dial but what I associate with breguet is elaborate multi guilloche pattern dials and subdials which can be cluttered (like their perpetuals) but still cluttered in an organized manner. Because of the enamel dial here, the trademark multi guilloche...
Thanks for your thoughts ...
or the perception. I get the part which the dial for complications, is sort of like organised busy/cluttered Perhaps non-organised (can't get the right word to us...) may work again. Some of the previous Breguet pocket-watches layout arrangements were pre...
Thank you Kong, for letting us know...
What a beautiful piece! 5907 (which I recently acquired) and this 5707 has been my favorite and am keenly interested. Questions: Is this edition only available in Pink Gold? No WG? I am strictly a white metal guy while I am an enamel dial sucker Will you ...
Thanks Ken , at the moment ...
the input received is only in PG. Likewise with I prefer a WG case too, combined with the enamel and blued-hands, killer! Ok, PM you the details. Kong
Must see in metal ...
Hi Kookcomp This is a Boutique Exclusive, so drop by if your area has a Breguet Boutique. Thanks for viewing. Kong
Great watch
The dial is very well done with multiple subdials without looking busy. My one question is that in some of the pictures the arabic hour markers look as if they weren't completely painted. The numbers look faded rather than two tone. Do they look sharper/m...
Viewed with different light direction ...
Hi Stewart The light angle plays a big part besides the depth of field of the lens which causes a slight-washout image. I guessed you may be referring to right-half of the dial. Included below, a pic with lighting from another angle (did not place in due ...
Reveil du Tsar boutique edition
Stunning watch, I like the combo of the enamel dial and RG case. Perfect match and a nice addition to the Reveil du Tsar collection. Thanks Kong for the sharing the pics. Regards, ED-209
Check it out ...
Hi Ed Check it out at Breguet Boutiques near you, it is attractive. Thanks for viewing. Kong
Seen it in the Paris boutique....
... in the company of Mr. Emmanuel Breguet... It is an astounding piece!!!! Tassos
Very nice Breguet. Thanks for the news.
I actually went to Sands Breguet boutique to view it in person after reading your report. Truely a work of art. I know "someone" who loves enamel in the group Regards
The real piece is...
lagi more stunning than the pics. Please tell that "someone" Thanks for viewing. Kong
Breathtaking...
Thank you for your reports on 5707ER. These closest pictures express real beaty of this watch very well. The contrast of rich blue hands and white enamel dial is so attractive! Regards, Nobuhiro
Welcome to PuristSPro!
... I agree that this IS breathtaking. Hopefully, we will meet up one day in Tokyo or else where... Feel free to PM me in Japanese.... Thank you for posting! Ken in Tokyo.
Welcome!
Hi Nobuhiro Thanks for the kind words. This piece is indeed elegantly beautiful. Still looks balance even with subtle dfferent size sub-dials. Have you seen one in Japan yet? Kong
The main selling point for me for the 5707
was the seven patterns of guilloche. It was my first serious watch. I was fascinated by the details. However, in the real world, dial legibility was less than ideal and I quickly learned that the legibility of the dial is really important to me. The ename...
A very important input ...
Thanks iAn ! To have 7 types of guilloche-patterns on a dial is remarkable and it is the key signatures of this model as you've mentioned. Blued hands already very attractive and with the addition of an enamel white dial... you are not alone Thanks for vi...
