Description:
This unique pocket watch, otherwise known as the Breguet Classique, held the accolade of being the most expensive pocket watch in the world in 2009, and to our knowledge it still is as of April 2010. Breguet are a name in horology that exemplify quality and prestige, and the company has the respect of its peers within the industry. The company has been producing timepieces for some 225 years and are credited with inventing the tourbillon.
Even though Breguet are now a part of Swatch they continue to develop and create exciting new innovative designs that set them apart from other horologists. The Classique is no exception to this rule; the stunning 18 carat yellow gold case is complete with grand strike and tourbillon, and the movement is hand engraved and hand wound for ultimate luxury and accuracy. The crown rotates and the gold dial is exquisitely finished in silver.
The caseback is sapphire and rose-engine and is also hand engraved. It is easy to see why the Breguest Classique is the most expensive pocket watch, but also why it is by far the most sought after. Yours for a princely sum of 540,000 EUR as of 2009.
