The Reference 5817 represents Breguet's Marine Automatic collection in a 39mm configuration with precious metal construction. This reference positions itself within the brand's nautical-themed lineup as an automatic timepiece combining traditional marine aesthetics with contemporary proportions.
The 39mm case is constructed from 18k rose gold and features a fluted bezel design. A silver dial provides the face of the timepiece, protected by sapphire crystal. The automatic movement provides self-winding functionality, while the case construction offers water resistance to 100 meters depth.
This reference appeals to collectors seeking a precious metal sports watch with marine-inspired design elements. The rose gold case material and fluted bezel treatment distinguish this reference within the Marine Automatic range. The 39mm case diameter provides contemporary wrist presence while maintaining versatility across different wearing occasions.
The original rubber strap is great, but the deployant is a pain on my wrist. I’m trying to get a standard pin buckle ordered so swapped out to this cordovan some years back and enjoying it a lot
If only they had a more comfortable deployant for smaller wrists. Thankfully the 20mm lug measurements allow for multiple strap options
Looking forward to wearing mine soon 😉 I prefer it on the original rubber strap though, I think it matches the watch perfectly. Enjoy your breakfast!
Will know what they can offer me on Monday
The rubber strap will be back on. I’ve asked the AD to help me get something suitable and they’re scheduled to get back to me on Monday. Fingers crossed
this watch is pure and simple and has a lot of character and wrist presence. Even the date window is harmoniously integrated in the dial. For me one of the best Breguets. Many congrats Thomas
