Breguet Classique Ultra-Plate

1990 | Yellow gold | Automatic | 33.0mm

Sale price€8.500,00

There are few timepieces as historically resonant and immediately identifiable as a Breguet Classique. Bearing the aesthetic codes established by Abraham-Louis Breguet over two centuries ago, this ultra-slim dress watch is the absolute pinnacle of traditional Swiss watchmaking, offering a masterclass in proportion, restraint, and artisanal finishing.

The solid 18k gold case features the brand's signature coined edges (cannelures) along the case band, paired with straight, welded lugs with screw pins. The dial is a work of art, featuring genuine hand-guilloché patterns executed on a rose engine, framed by a brushed chapter ring with Roman numerals. The time is indicated by the iconic blued steel "pomme" hands, universally known today simply as Breguet hands.

Powered by a beautifully decorated, ultra-thin automatic movement, this timepiece slips seamlessly under a dress shirt. It is an uncompromised expression of horological aristocracy, perfect for the purist who demands heritage and peerless craftsmanship.

Breguet

Founded in 1775 by Abraham-Louis Breguet in Paris, Breguet is one of the oldest and most historically significant watchmakers in the world. Renowned as a pioneer of horological innovation, Breguet introduced groundbreaking inventions such as the tourbillon, the Breguet balance spring, and the first wristwatch, created in 1812 for Caroline Murat, Queen of Naples. His clients included European royalty, intellectuals, and influential figures such as Napoleon Bonaparte and Marie Antoinette. Breguet’s aesthetic codes—fluted casebands, blued hands, and guilloché dials—remain hallmarks of the brand’s identity and have defined classical watch design for over two centuries.

Now headquartered in the Vallée de Joux, Switzerland, and part of the Swatch Group, Breguet continues to honor its legacy through exquisite craftsmanship and technical excellence. The brand maintains an in-house approach to manufacturing, producing highly finished calibers that often incorporate complications such as perpetual calendars, minute repeaters, and tourbillons. Contemporary Breguet collections like the Classique, Marine, and Tradition reflect the maison’s dedication to heritage while embracing modern advancements. Each timepiece is a testament to Breguet’s enduring influence on fine watchmaking and its ongoing role in shaping horological history.
