enamel dial with those contrasting slender yet detailed beautiful blued Breguet hands, together with what might look like a hand painted minute track all come together to create a symphony of elegance and class. It’s almost as if I can imagine someone hand painting this beautiful dial. Something about it just grabs me. The yellow gold case also works beautifully against those steel blue hands.

I was at a store when the salesman show me a Breguet Marine. Truly fine to feel it in my hands and shiny machine engined watch. The first time i had seen a machines engined watch. Now i go for a 5140, and sure a Marine is also on my list.

Romantic , it is. This is arguably one of the most desirable pieces in the classic collection, quintessentially Breguet.
