The Beautiful Watch

Rare Bréguet from 1954 - "Big Day and Date"

€105.000 EUR

This 1954 Bréguet will likely one day find a place in a museum, as it features a complication produced in a series of only three examples.

It boasts a "Big Date" display with double apertures at 12 o'clock, complemented by a day indication at 6 o'clock. Its 35mm yellow gold case—water-resistant and featuring a screw-down case back—is particularly unusual for a Bréguet of that era. At the time, the brand almost exclusively used snap-on case backs; screw-down backs were found primarily on certain Type 20 chronographs but virtually never on a gold watch with complications.

The watch retains its original dial. Over time, the varnish has aged to create a distinctive patina, all without the dial ever having undergone restoration.

An extract from the archives confirms a limited production run of just three pieces. Thanks to its complication, construction, and state of preservation, this Bréguet is a truly exceptional timepiece.

 

 

Cette Bréguet de 1954 trouvera probablement un jour sa place dans un musée, car elle est dotée d'une complication produite en une série de trois exemplaires seulement.

Elle arbore un affichage « Grande Date » à double guichet à 12 heures, complété par une indication du jour à 6 heures. Son boîtier de 35 mm en or jaune, étanche et doté d'un fond vissé est particulièrement inhabituel pour une Bréguet de cette époque. À l'époque, la marque utilisait presque exclusivement des fonds clippés ; les fonds vissés se rencontraient principalement sur certains chronographes Type 20, mais pratiquement jamais sur une montre en or à complications.

La montre a conservé son cadran d'origine. Avec le temps, le vernis a vieilli pour créer une patine caractéristique, le tout sans que le cadran n'ait jamais subi de restauration.

Un extrait des archives confirme une production limitée à seulement trois pièces. Par sa complication, sa construction et son état de conservation, cette Bréguet constitue une pièce d'horlogerie véritablement exceptionnelle.
