Breguet Classique 5907BR

The 5907 is pretty perfect watch and a reference perpetually on my hunt list. A 35 mm solid gold, hand finished Classique case with coin edged mid-case, soldered lugs, and ultra-thin profile combined with a masterclass in negative space showcased on the achingly gorgeous, absolutely classic, gold dial that is silvered, brushed, and then hand finished complete with three different hand turned guilloche patterns.

Reference: 5907BR/12/984

Case: 35 x 41 x 7.3 mm 18K rose gold case is in excellent original condition, appearing to be unpolished. All of the hallmarks and engravings are very crisp, deep, and legible, and only minor surface swirls are present as highlighted on the polished surfaces.

Dial: An absolutely beautiful solid gold dial that is silvered, brushed, and hand finished including radially brushed tracks, hand turned guilloche patterns, wonderful raised golden beads at the hours, and my always favorite heat blued Pomme or Breuget style hands. The dial is very clean and free of any defects.

Movement: The ultra-thin manually would caliber 511 DR movement boasts a 95-hour power reserve, complete with power reserve indicator, and impressive hand finishing throughout. It is winding, setting, and running well at approximately -10 s/d, averaged across 6 positions.

Strap: The watch is presented on its original signed black leather strap and fitted with rose gold buckle with hallmarks crisply intact.

Includes: Watch only.
