About the Breguet Classique Ref. 5247

The Breguet Classique reference 5247 is a notable example within the Classique collection, distinguished by its chronograph complication and a design that adheres to Breguet's traditional aesthetic principles. This reference integrates a complex function into a watch that maintains a refined and understated appearance, characteristic of the Classique line's focus on horological substance over overt display. It represents a blend of classical watchmaking artistry with practical utility, appealing to those who appreciate both technical sophistication and historical design cues.

The watch features an 18k yellow gold case, measuring 40 mm in diameter, which houses the automatic caliber 502.3. This movement provides a power reserve of 45 hours. The dial is silver, often featuring Breguet numerals and hands, and is protected by a sapphire crystal. The water resistance is rated at 30 meters, suitable for incidental contact with water. The case construction and finishing reflect Breguet's established standards for high-end watchmaking.

This reference appeals to collectors seeking a classically styled chronograph from a historically significant brand. Its integration of a chronograph into the Classique series offers a distinct option for those who value both the brand's heritage and the functionality of a stopwatch. Variants of this reference may exist with different case materials or dial finishes, but the core design and mechanical principles remain consistent, making it a recognizable piece within the broader Breguet catalog.
