Back to the roots for the prestigious Breguet no. 4691

The Breguet Museum and its President, Marc A. Hayek acquired 3 exceptional Breguet watches including the antique pocket watch no. 4691 at Christie's and Sotheby's auctions, respectively, on Monday November 11 and Tuesday 12, 2013.

Sold on October 13, 1831 to Lord Henry Seymour Conway, the Breguet n° 4691 is one of the most complex watches to have been made by Breguet in such a slim case. With a thickness of 7.7 mm, this repeater watch displays equation of time, power reserve indication, calendar and moon phase based on chronometer principles.

This prestigious piece was acquired for more than one million Swiss francs.
