Breguet is a renowned Swiss luxury watchmaker with a rich history that dates back over two centuries. The brand was founded in 1775 by Abraham-Louis Breguet, a watchmaker of great significance in the horological world.

One of Breguet's most impactful contributions to horology was the invention of the tourbillon - a mechanism that compensates for errors in timekeeping caused by gravity's effects on the movement of the watch. Breguet patented the tourbillon in 1801, and it remains a highly regarded and sought-after complication in mechanical watches to this day. He is also credited with devising the wrist watch, inventing self-winding movements, balance springs, Breguet hands, numerals and guilloche. 

This Classique is potentially the ultimate Breguet piece to own as it blends many of the watchmaker's most important inventions into one timepiece. The dial is two tone guilloche with silvered solid gold and there is a beautifully displayed tourbillon complication. The caseback features a screw down exhibition sapphire, allowing view into a totally hand engraved yellow gold movement. The side of the case also has a beautiful coin edge pattern.
