Breguet Classique Tourbillon 3358
Breguet now offers two new versions of its Tourbillon in the Classique collection.
The rose gold case frames a dial adorned with 281 diamonds. The gems between 3 and 9 o’clock form elegant curves, while those inside the chapter ring are set using the snow-setting technique.
The chapter ring at 12 o'clock is in natural white mother-of-pearl. The Arabic numerals and hands are aligned with Breguet's own distinctive aesthetic codes devised by its founder. Majestically positioned at the base of the dial, the tourbillon is integrated into a curved and polished oval-shaped aperture and enhanced by a rounded gold bar graced with 14 diamonds.
To enhance the tourbillon's fascinating mechanism, its components play on grey and pink- coloured contrasts. Last but not least, the bezel and lugs are set with diamonds, in addition to the crown, which features a rose-cut diamond.
On this rose gold model, the sapphire case-back also enables the wearer to admire the hammered, hand-engraved decoration.
