DescriptionThe Breguet Classique 5140BA/12/9W6 boasts a round, 40mm case meticulously crafted from 18-carat yellow gold. Measuring 10.8mm in thickness, the case houses the self-winding Caliber 502.3 SD movement, featuring a power reserve of 46 hours. With 35 jewels and a frequency of 3Hz (21,600 vibrations per hour), this 12-ligne caliber incorporates a Breguet balance wheel and an inverted straight-line lever escapement. A notable feature of this movement is the silicon balance spring and lever, contributing to enhanced accuracy and resistance to magnetic fields. The movement comprises 140 components and includes a 22-carat oscillating weight. The dial is a masterpiece of craftsmanship, crafted from silvered gold and adorned with hand-engravings executed on a rose engine. A small seconds subdial adds functionality and visual interest. To protect the intricate dial and movement, a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal is utilized. The caseback, also in 18-carat yellow gold, is solid, ensuring water resistance up to 3 bar (30 meters). Complementing the exquisite design is a brown alligator leather strap, adding a touch of luxury and comfort.

The Classique 5140's case back isn't transparent, safeguarding the movement from prying eyes while maintaining a sleek and elegant aesthetic. The meticulous attention to detail extends to the dial, where hand-engraving on a rose engine creates a mesmerizing guilloche pattern that captures and reflects light in a captivating manner. Although the dial is adorned with applied Roman numeral hour markers and Breguet hands, the watch maintains a clean and uncluttered look, emphasizing its timeless elegance.
