From the Classique Grande Complication collection, the present wristwatch by Breguet exemplifies the watchmaking ideals of precision and elegant lines. The three bodies yellow-gold case with coin-edge band, transparent back and straight lugs is charming and notably preserved. Despite the quality and elegance of the case, this very model strikes for the intricacy of its movement comprehending a perpetual calendar complication, a power reserve indicator and the very unusual perpetual equation of time. This complication allows displaying the difference between mean solar time—our conventional twenty-four-hour period—and the true solar time, which varies with the earth’s irregular orbit round the sun. All these complications are displayed harmoniously on guilloché silvered solid gold dial with painted Roman numbers and 5 different subsidiary dials. The Breguet Classique Grande Complication is surely an exceptionally complicated watch but most of all it’s extremely exclusive in terms of design and layout, making a true beauty for watches’ lovers.
