BREGUET'S NEW Classique Double Tourbillon "Quai de l'Horloge" 5345 is more than a horological masterpiece. As a matter of fact, the most fundamental truth of the timepiece is how immediately astounding it is.

The watch comes in a 46-millimetre 18-carat rose gold case with a Breguet-embossed royal blue strap. With its skeletonised dial, collectors can admire the twin rotating tourbillons at work. Additionally, it displays time by a chapter ring with Roman numerals on a sapphire disc instead of indices.

imageCrafted for museums, the elegant Classique Double Tourbillon "Quai de l'Horloge" 5345 is a fitting tribute to Abraham-Louis Breguet's famous tourbillon regulator, patented on 26 June 1801.
