Breguet

Classique "Grande Complication " 1808BR /92/9W6

Classique "Grande Complication " 1808BR, another classy piece besides the stunning Fusee Tourbillon
seen at the last even recent event .

Exquisitely engraved on both front and back of the watch with pave-set diamonds on a hinged gold cuvette.

Some pictures to do the talking, presenting the 1808BR ...

The alternative is a plain gold cuvette with beautiful barleycorn guilloche, however the decorative on the platine is Côtes de Genève
(seen from the catalogue). This piece with pave-diamond hunter case, the platine is hand-engraved as later picture will show.

Case diameter is 40.5mm.

Above showed the inconspicuous hinge of the gold cuvette.
Total 706 diamonds set on the cuvette and the top of four lugs amounting to about 4.7 cts.

Perhaps the word "Tourbillon" should not be present to maintain understatement and even spring a surprise for friends owning the
piece, to discover it is a tourbi upon opening the cuvette. Or it could be replaced with the initials of the owners.

Fully open a 90 degree.

The back of cuvette is glossy and blank...perhaps could be engraved with a personal message for the current owner or even future.

Beautifully hand-engraved alternating patterns with a black rhodium plated gold-dial.

The signed Breguet crown which when depresses, releases the latch to open the gold cuvette.

Bezel and caseband were polished differently for varying contrast.

The signature Breguet fluted caseband ...
