Such a great watch from the company whose timepieces Napoleon used. Just beautiful.

Can I ask, what is the model?

unknown · 8 January 2009, 03:02 AM

The model is 5140BA in white gold. It is from their Classique collection.

I am not that good with the camera sorry mate

The secret signature is exactly halfway between Breguet mark and the centre of the watch, it is engraved in the enamel and you need really good light ot even see it.

Numismatist · 8 January 2009, 08:26 AM

The coin edge is especially nice. Very elegant watch.

mretzloff · 10 January 2009, 11:27 AM

While the watch is amazing, I think the history behind such a legendary watch company is the more amazing thing. Just imagine, your watch comes from the same company that Napoleon, Marie Antoinette, and Louis XVI favored for watches. That's just impressive.

EDIT: Here's an impressive list of Breguet's patrons.

limenko · 10 January 2009, 01:50 PM

Agree with the history. Anyone who buys a Breguet watch from an AD can send a form in to put their name in the book, which is on display at their museum in Paris. It lists all the people that have owned a Breguet.

You also register your serial number and if it ever gets stolen you can notify them and they notify all their offical channels such as SC and ADs.

At the end of all of this you get a letter personally signed by Nicholas Hayek and a catalogue.

That's impressive. I really like the registering part. According to their website, they've kept records of their customers since the 1700s.

If I get a chance to visit Geneva this summer, I will be sure to checkout their watches at the Patek Philippe Museum and their various boutiques.

Very beautiful! And the box! Wow, why can't Rolex make boxes as fine.

lorsban · 26 January 2009, 05:25 PM

Wow, I don't know of any other brand that has a client list as impressive as Breguet's (haven't seen Patek's yet). I mean, most of those guys have changed the world one way or another.

They could. You just wouldn't like the price.

Perdu · 8 March 2009, 03:35 PM

Even the box is stunning. What diameter is the watch?

limenko · 8 March 2009, 06:33 PM

The case is 40 mm.
