Breguet Classique Regulator 1747

About this reference

The Breguet Classique Regulator reference 1747BA was produced during the late 1990s and early 2000s to commemorate the 250th anniversary of Abraham-Louis Breguet’s birth. This 36mm 18k yellow gold timepiece is valued for its regulator-style display, which separates the hours into a subdial at 12 o’clock while the central hand tracks minutes, mimicking historical precision clocks. It features a solid gold, hand-guilloché dial and the automatic Caliber 591, a movement based on a Lemania 8810 ebauche. The case incorporates signature brand elements including a coin-edged midcase and soldered straight lugs. On the secondary market, this reference typically trades between $12,000 and $18,000 depending on condition and the presence of original documentation. While the yellow gold 1747BA is the most common iteration, a limited series of 300 pieces was produced in platinum (1747PT) for the 1997 anniversary.
