Inquire NowA testament to Breguet’s timeless ingenuity, the present platinum Souscription Set embodies the spirit of the brand’s founder, Abraham-Louis Breguet, uniting two of the most sophisticated horological complications: the minute repeater and the perpetual calendar. Introduced in 1991 as a limited edition of 300 sets across all metals, the series paid homage to the early “souscription” watches that revolutionized 18th-century watchmaking.
This example, numbered 15, is one of apparently only fifteen produced in platinum, the rarest and most desirable configuration of the collection. The wristwatch, reference 3430, exemplifies Breguet’s mastery of proportion and refinement, featuring a delicately engine-turned silver dial with calendar indications arranged in harmonious symmetry. Its minute repeater resonates with crystalline precision, a mechanical symphony contained within an understated case.
Its counterpart, the pocket watch reference 1819, mirrors the same artistry on a grander scale, displaying Breguet’s signature guilloché work, blued steel hands, and sapphire caseback revealing the hand-finished repeater mechanism. Together, the two form a dialogue between heritage and modern craftsmanship.
Key features:
– Platinum Souscription Set No. 15 | Limited to 300 Sets (15 in Platinum)
– Wristwatch Ref. 3430 & Pocket Watch Ref. 1819 | Minute Repeater & Perpetual Calendar Complications | Power Reserve and Moon Phase
– Hand-Guilloché Silver Dials | Sapphire Display Backs | Manual-Wind and Automatic Movement
– Accompanied by Breguet Certificates Confirming Manufacture (Dec. 20, 1991) and Sale (March 1994)
A masterpiece of precision, design, and historical resonance, this platinum Souscription Set represents one of the most intellectually refined expressions of modern Breguet, a rare tribute to the brand’s enduring pursuit of horological perfection.
