The Breguet brand, established by the legendary Abraham Louis Breguet in 1775, has long been recognized as one of the finest watchmakers of all time, with a legacy of creating timepieces that are both functional and exquisite continues to be celebrated today. The brand's early success was partly due to its bespoke services to royalty and aristocrats, including famous clients like Marie-Antoinette, Empress Joséphine, and Caroline Murat. This tradition of catering to the elite extended to their creation of wristwatches for women, often blending artistry with horological sophistication, resulting in pieces that were as much jewelry as timepieces. The timepiece presented here is a stunning example of Breguet's commitment to exceptional beauty and technical craftsmanship. Featuring a round yellow-gold case, this watch is in remarkable condition. The bezel is adorned with brilliant-cut diamonds, enhancing its luxurious appeal. The fancy circular and oval lugs are also set with diamonds, seamlessly linked to the case by an elegant emerald arch, which beautifully complements the green cabochon at the winding crown. The two-tone silvered dial, with its finely executed guilloché decoration, is a masterpiece in itself with radial Roman numerals presented on a plain surface. The bracelet, light yet intricate, features a series of circles interlinked together, emphasizing the watch’s refined yet bold design.
