Breguet Classique Automatic in Rose Gold, ref. 5177BR (38mm)

 The meticulously crafted 18-carat rose gold case is a site to behold with its striking riveted side profile. Nestled within the case, is a 55 hour self-winding movement (calibre 777Q), enhanced with a silicon balance-spring, lever, and escape wheel. The watch is outfitted with a transparent sapphire-crystal caseback, providing a glimpse into the mesmerizing movement, resting neatly beneath its highly decorated rotor. Measuring in at an elegant 38mm diameter, this watch is a perfect size for those who respect vintage sizing, but afraid to go too small. 

But perhaps, the most standout element of this watch is the white grand feu enamel dial. If you already know about the delicate process that goes into the fabrication of every one of these dials, then I need not ramble on about how special they truly are. 

This model is part of a diverse collection that offers three case materials: rose gold, yellow gold, and white gold, and are complemented by either a silvered gold dial or a striking "grand feu" enamel dial, available in blue or white. The rose gold + white grand feu enamel combo that we have available here today, is by far my favourite of the varieties. 

CONDITION 

This watch is in impeccable condition. Aside from a few light hairline scratches around the case from just a handful of times on the wrist, this watch is as close to new as you will get for a lightly worn watch. The brown leather strap is lightly warped from some wear, but overall it is in excellent condition.

CONTENTS & WATCHMAKER’S WARRANTY

The watch comes as a full set, together with box, papers, including the warranty booklet which is stamped by the Canadian jeweller it was originally purchased at in April of 2023. This leaves just over 1 year of the 2 year warranty remaining. 

THE VALUE PROP

Priced at $31,000 CAD (excluding tax) at your local AD, this watch represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a remarkable piece from one of the world's foremost watchmakers, at a significant value. This is a chance to own a watch of unparalleled quality and craftsmanship, in the most premium materials, for a fraction of its original retail price.
