Let's have a look !
NB: following Breguet's own list of the Timepieces to honour a legacy, I deliberately omitted the pieces which weren't specific to the 250th Anniversary: several Reine de Naples, the Marine 5517, the Classique 5177 & the Classique 7145 Year of the Snake.

Only a few caught my interest, to be honest...
The Type XX RG Black dial.... Oh yes, this one is even more attractive in person... The Minute Repeater with its blue dial disappointed me a bit due to the hue of the blue...
The Souscription... Too big!!! The tourbillon sideral is awesome. I still have to see the Experimentale.
Thanks for the post!

I was very disappointed when I tried on the black Type XX.
Didn't like the watch, not the movement decoration.
The Souscription is a clear favorite for me here, along with the Phases de lune. But I agree with you: it's too big, unfortunately.

I didn't like the silver dialed Type XX... As for the Souscription, the size kills the watch, for me. Size and thickness.
I was worried about the size when I read the reviews, but it was very comfortable and unobtrusive on my 7.25" wrist (see shots below)
Two big favorites.
Money no object it would be the Tourbillon Sidéral.
A more realistic target is the superb black dial Type XX .
I was very disappointed when trying on the black Type XX.
The Souscription is my favourite, here, but it's a bit too large, unfortunately.
Yes, it deserves to be seen in real life.
Also, the decoration of the movement looks gimmicky to me.
Everything but the Experimentale and the Hora mundi
well, not in these cases.
All the rest would fit my wrist perfectly
The last one looks like the best to me
I like the guilloche dial and the center seconds.
I also think the 7255 is beautiful.
Yes, the last one is beautiful, but piece unique, unfortunately.
As for 7255, I'm not fond of it because front tourbillon making a hole in the dial isn't my personal cup of tea.

I go back and forth with where the tourb is
For this one I like the overall aesthetics.
As an addition I really like the silver type XX. I had assumed it was bigger but at 38.3 I am really liking it. Paired with the equal size sub dials and the fonts they used (although the main numerals could look better) it really is a charming piece.

I didn't get the chance to try the silver Type XX, only the black one.
And I was very disappointed. It didn't look good on my wrist and the movement decoration felt gimmicky to me.
The Classique Souscription is a really nice watch...
...not perfect...I could do without the engraved words on the movement (though in real life they are near invisible). And the case could be a tad thinner. But the gold color is fantastic as is the dial. And I like the single hand. Reminds me that it's OK to be places 'around' the right time : )
I agree with you on all points here!
But the case a little too large for my 16 cm wrist, unfortunately.

Size can be an issue (that's what she said!)...
...but seriously, I really like the new case style. And I would also be interested in a non-limited version if it were a bit smaller and thinner. 38 x 9.5 would be perfect...
Thanks. Very useful post.
Seeing all 250th anniversary Breguets together is awesome. I hope to get mine in february. It will be 7235, No:13/250.
cheers.
Huge congratulations !
The 7235 looks gorgeous. I wish you a prompt delivery !
