His detailed observations invite a deeper look into a watch that sparks both admiration and critical discussion among collectors, particularly regarding its material options and design philosophy.
The Breguet Type XX reference 2075 represents a specific iteration within the Type XX collection, known for its flyback chronograph function. This particular reference is distinguished by its use of precious metal for the case, setting it apart from the more commonly associated stainless steel versions of the Type XX. It maintains the characteristic design language of the model, including the bi-directional rotating bezel and legible dial layout, while offering a different aesthetic profile through its material choice.
This reference features a case crafted from 18k yellow gold, housing an automatic movement. The watch is fitted with a sapphire crystal, providing durability and scratch resistance.
