Collectors prioritize this reference for its 36mm 18k yellow gold case, which features the brand’s signature coin-edge fluting and straight lugs. The dial typically displays a hand-guilloché center, Roman numerals on a brushed chapter ring, and apertures for the day and month, powered by a manual-wind Valjoux-based caliber. This reference represents the neo-classical aesthetic established by the house before the quartz crisis. On the secondary market, these timepieces generally command prices between $35,000 and $60,000 depending on provenance and condition. A notable example appeared at a 2017 Christie’s auction, where a well-preserved specimen sold for approximately $47,500. Production numbers remained low, as Breguet’s total annual output during this era was significantly more restricted than modern production levels.", "score": 199}]}
