Yes, this design is really attractive in almost all the variants.
Thanks for stopping by! Best, Emmanuel
I've seen one in RG live
a few months ago. To me the dial design was too baroque and I prefer classic design of 3 bridges tourbillon. At the same time the one you show here in WG with blue dial I find rather good looking and would be very tempted.
A matter of personal taste, of course.
On the paper, I enjoy the variants with guilloché and less the other ones (skeleton or blue sunburst), but I certainly understand your preference for the blue sunburst one. And, as I've you seen a RG with guilloché in real life, it makes me ask myself if ...
The one I was able to see lately
Beautiful indeed, the rest is personal taste. I prefer less ornate design. ...
Thanks a lot for adding the number 3 !
Gorgeous photos. I personally like it, but, as you say, "the rest is personal taste". Best, Emmanuel
What a collection.
I love the first and last one best 🙂. That combination of white with gold/orange guilloche is outstanding, and the simplicity of the blue sunburst with Breguet numerals hiding that splendid movement is totally compelling to me 😎🙏
Yes, GP has done a beautiful job with these pieces!
Enjoy your weekend, Filip! Best, Emmanuel
Thanks for unearthing these 🙌🏻👏🏻👌🏻
What fantastic pieces - especially those with solid dials hiding so well what’s behind the facade 👍🏻
They’re my favorite too.
Predictably, I like the colored gold examples quite a bit. Cheers, Emmanuel
Haven’t seen these references, thank you Quattro.
The classic guilloche ones are the best for me, also the finishing of the caliber is otherworldly, those wolf teeth, those beautifully sunken jewels, the beveling, it’s a masterpiece. The free hand engraved ones are a bit too rococo for my liking though. ...
This is a very attractive watch
in every iteration. Something I was completely unaware of. Great post.
I agree, except for the blue sunburst dial which speaks less to me.
Thank you, Druid. Best, Emmanuel
