Rose Gold Breguet Classique Men's Watch

Description: A beautiful combination of rich history references and self-winding convenience. If you love watches, you will be aware that Breguet is a famous name in watch history going back into the 18th century when Abraham Louis Breguet was a famous Paris watch maker. He was, among other things, a supplier of watches to the French court. Breguet’s name lives on in the world of watches because he invented a number of important features that are still found on high quality watches today, including, this one, such as “Breguet hands,” “Breguet numerals” and the “Breguet over coil” hair spring. The face of this Breguet model 7147BR/12/9WU “Classique” displays many historical features, including the Breguet hands and numerals, the unique number of the particular watch and the beautiful engine-turneddial design. (The watch number is blurred in pictures here to deter scammers from using the pictures to try to sell watches they don’t own.) Both the case, which features a traditional Breguet fluted coin edge, and the buckle onthe original alligator strap are 18K (AU750) rose gold. The beautiful movement, visible from the back, has the modern convenience of self-winding. Well, perhaps not so modern. Breguet invented and patented the first practicalself-winding pocket watch. (Pocket watches were what people had in those days, although Breguet also came up with what is thought to be the first wristwatch, made for the Queen of Naples, in 1810. Wrist watches did not become popular until WWI.) I bought the watch new in January 2021 and it has been worn only a handful of times since and is in excellent like-newcondition. Breguet’s website shows, as this is written, that thec urrent suggested retail price of this watch is $24,700. This magnificent watch is offered at $12,350, 50% of current retail. This watch comes with everything, the watch, the certificate of origin and warranty book (which includes more on Breguet’s history and a long list of historically famous Breguet watch owners) and other papers, the beautiful burlwood presentation case, the hang tag, the box for the case and even the original factory pasteboard outermost box. This is your chance to have the beauty and history of this high quality watch on your wrist, or that of someone you care for, for a great price and with the confidence eBay authentication provides.
