My new Breguet (this time for real). A month ago they sent me one with dents, which I posted here. Fortunately, the authorized dealer didn't have any problem with it and ordered a brand new one from Breguet, which arrived yesterday.

I'd wanted a dress watch for years and the other options were the PP Calatrava or the VC Traditionelle, but the Breguet's dial captivated me. On the other hand, I was very lucky because the Breguet went up in price 48 hours ago from €27,000 to €28,900. Be

Of all the references the 5970 series had the most “commissions”

The ref 5004 closely follows then the 5070. Some are genuinely unique dials but some where made in a very small series. However, to put all this into perspective I predict that only 50-100 pieces were made. Consider approximately 3000 pieces were made, th

Sorry if I bring some confusion in your mind instead of a solution…

Of course I can only agree that both 3796 and 5196 have a beautiful design but as many have mentioned the case design of 5196 is such that it looks odd on a 16cm because of the lug to lug dimension. On the other hand the 3796 is really small and unless yo
