Over two centuries after the foundation of the brand, Breguet decided to launch a special set made in a limited series of 300 pieces in yellow, white, pink gold or platinum that captures the true spirit of the company’s founder, horological genius Abraham-Louis Breguet. It was 1991 when the Subscription Set was officially revealed to the world: composed of two watches in platinum, a minute repeating perpetual calendar wristwatch and a beautiful large pocket watch, the epitome of Breguet style. The set here offered is number 51 of this very scarce series and considering the scholars could be one of only 15 sets ever produced in this material. The wristwatch reference 3430 is created in a very classic style with all the characteristics of the perpetual calendar harmoniously displayed on the guilloché dial. Surely, the most attractive and precious complication of this wristwatch is the minute repeater and its magnificent sound capable of reproducing hours, quarters and minutes. Together with the wristwatch comes an extremely sophisticated and complex pocket watch reference 1819. The beautiful decoration and intricacy of the movement can easily be appreciated through the large display case back of the timepiece. Taking inspiration from some historically important Breguet perpetual pocket watches from the late 18th century, it features a hammer-winding mechanism. Absolutely precious and definitely rare, this set is an almost unique opportunity to purchase a piece of history.
