More than two centuries after its founding, Breguet introduced an exclusive limited series of just 300 pieces. In 1991, the Subscription Set was officially unveiled, featuring two exquisite timepieces crafted in 18K yellow gold: a minute-repeating perpetual calendar wristwatch and a stunningly elegant large pocket watch, both embodying the essence of Breguet’s signature style. The set presented here is number 33 of this rare collection and is likely one of the few still preserved with its complete set of accessories. The wristwatch, reference 3430, showcases a classic design with a guilloché dial that gracefully arranges the perpetual calendar indications. However, its most remarkable feature is the minute repeater, a highly coveted complication capable of chiming hours, quarters, and minutes with exceptional clarity. Accompanying it is the sophisticated pocket watch, reference 1890, an extraordinary creation with a meticulously decorated movement that can be admired through its large display case back. Drawing inspiration from historically significant Breguet perpetual pocket watches from the late 18th century, it incorporates a rare hammer-winding mechanism. Complete with Breguet guarantee, booklets, yellow gold magnifying glass, screwdriver and fitted presentation box, this set is a true collector’s treasure, offering a rare opportunity to acquire one of these exceptional pieces in its entirety.
