Complexity and detail: Miltoniopsis orchid and Breguet Classique 5707 Réveil du Tsar in grand feu enamel.
Next up: GO
Yeah, the guilloché work on this reference is out-of-this-world.
The uber-complex dial is more legible in grand feu, though, and I love the Breguet numerals. Still a tough choice.
The grand feu is much rarer, and last Breguet with hand painted dials is this ref
I wouldn't mind adding this to my collection, but I already have a 5707 wg guilloché dial, and love it... I find it more versatile.
It’s like music to my ear

Ahhh! Very nice! Yes, white gold also allows for more strap color choices.
This photo from another member shows a lovely strap choice for a summery and elegant man. Now, I'm not as summery nor as elegant as this man, but I can try to be!
Yes! Although both are already quite rare pieces!
The additional rarity doesn't necessarily make me want the grand feu dial more. I just happen to like the guilloche. But the grand feu dial is GORGEOUS. If you ever tire of yours... Do you find in your case that the automatic winding also winds the alarm function? Some people complain that the automatic winding doesn't really wind the alarm function.
So glad to read that! Again, what a wonderful watch!
Hmm... If only my wrist were a little bigger...
Gorgeous photo and amazing enamel
dial on your Breguet. So elegant. So clean. So . . . lovely!
Thanks!
I’m having fun with this conceit. Now I’ve got to bring some more orchids into bloom. (I told myself I wouldn’t ‘double dip’.)
