In this captivating post, holdemchamp1225 shares his long-awaited acquisition: a Breguet chronograph in white gold with a fired enamel dial. His passion for manual-wind chronographs, particularly those featuring the revered Lemania 2310 base caliber, shines through as he details the journey to secure this elusive timepiece. This article explores why this specific configuration is so highly sought after by collectors.



The Breguet Rattrapante Ref. 5947 is a notable complication within the brand's contemporary offerings, distinguished by its split-seconds chronograph function. This reference showcases Breguet's technical expertise in creating complex mechanisms while maintaining a design language consistent with its heritage. It represents a modern interpretation of a classic horological complication, appealing to collectors who value intricate movements and refined execution.
The watch features an 18k rose gold case measuring 42 mm in diameter, complemented by a fluted bezel. It is equipped with the automatic caliber 517F, which provides a power reserve of 45 hours. The dial is presented in blue, protected by a sapphire crystal, and the watch offers water resistance up to 100 meters. A rubber strap secures the timepiece to the wrist.
This reference appeals to collectors interested in high-complication timepieces from a historically significant brand. The combination of a split-seconds chronograph with Breguet's design codes positions it as a significant piece for those seeking mechanical sophistication and a distinctive aesthetic. Its production from 2020 onwards places it among the brand's more recent complicated offerings.
Huge congrats ! Being a strap freak, I look forward to seeing how you are going to dress this beauty.
The only other Breguet that compares is the Reveil Du Tsar with enamel dial.
Any picture of the back?
Ps : I guess your are in love with white dial and donโt need the black one anymore ๐๐๐
