Breguet XX
My Breguet XX have gold colour on the crown and someone told me that its more desireable then without gold..Can you tell me the reason?
it signifies that it is one of the earliest models
Hi daytona 1712,
The gold/steel crown was only used on the modern Type XX for a few years (at most) when the model was first re-introduced in the mid-90s. As such, it identifies your watch as one of the early examples, something that collectors will likely value over time.
Whenever you send it in for service you'd have to request that they not change the crown if you want to keep it though. The crown is often changed to insure proper water resistance, but from a collectability standpoint it would not be a good idea for your watch.
