Quick TakeEmbracing the Classique line's ethos, the 5930BA/12/986 isn't about flashy complications but a celebration of pure watchmaking artistry. The hand-engraved silvered gold dial steals the spotlight, showcasing a symphony of patterns reminiscent of bygone eras. Housed in a warm 18K yellow gold case, it's a dress watch with a soul, whispering tales of centuries-old craftsmanship. While the 96-hour power reserve and 30m water resistance are modern touches, they don't distract from the watch's vintage aura. This Breguet isn't just an accessory; it's a conversation starter, a wrist-borne heirloom that speaks volumes about the wearer's refined taste.

DescriptionThe Classique 5930BA/12/986, with its self-winding caliber 517/1, encapsulates Breguet's commitment to horological excellence. The movement, comprised of 28 jewels, operates at a frequency of 3 Hz (21,600 vibrations per hour), ensuring precise timekeeping. Its 11½ ligne dimensions, translating to roughly 26mm in diameter, house a formidable 96-hour power reserve, indicative of the intricate engineering within. The movement's flat balance spring and Swiss straight-line lever escapement work in harmony with the annular balance wheel to maintain consistent accuracy. Adding a touch of opulence, the 18-carat gold oscillating weight ensures efficient winding and is a testament to the watch's luxurious character.

Crafted from 18-carat yellow gold, the 35.5mm round case boasts a svelte 8.35mm thickness. Its design emphasizes the watch's classic appeal, with the gold complementing the silvered dial. Though not a diver's watch, the 5930BA/12/986 offers 3 bar (30m) water resistance, adequate for everyday wear and incidental splashes. The absence of a sapphire case back maintains the watch's traditional aesthetic, while the dial itself becomes the centerpiece. Hand-engraved on a rose engine, the intricate patterns showcase a level of artistry rarely seen in modern timepieces, making this Breguet a statement piece of both horological and artistic significance.
