Breguet Classique Grande Complication Tourbillon

About this reference

The Breguet Classique Grande Complication 5347PT/11/9ZU features a 44mm platinum case and was introduced in 2006; it remains a centerpiece of the brand’s current production. This reference is defined by the manual-wind Calibre 588, which utilizes two independent tourbillons connected by a differential gear. The entire movement plate rotates once every twelve hours, allowing the bridge connecting the tourbillons to serve as the hour hand. The dial is composed of silvered 18k gold with hand-engraved engine turning, while the case back features a detailed engraving of the solar system. Collectors value this reference for its mechanical complexity and its direct link to Abraham-Louis Breguet’s 1801 invention. On the secondary market, this platinum model typically trades in the $220,000 to $280,000 range. A notable variant is the 5349PT, which utilizes the same movement but features a larger case set with baguette-cut diamonds.
