DescriptionThe Breguet Heritage 5497 Platinum (ref. 5497PT/12/9V6) is a testament to the brand's rich legacy and unwavering commitment to mechanical excellence. Housed within a 42.00 mm x 35.00 mm tonneau-shaped platinum case, the watch exudes a refined elegance. Its curved profile and polished finish accentuate the precious metal's luster, while the 12.24 mm thickness strikes a harmonious balance between presence and wearability. A partial sapphire caseback offers a glimpse into the intricate workings of the hand-wound Calibre 187H, showcasing the meticulous hand-engraving that adorns the movement's components.

The silvered gold dial, a canvas for the timepiece's artistry, is hand-engraved on a rose engine, a traditional technique that creates mesmerizing guilloche patterns. The timekeeping functions are displayed with Breguet's signature blued steel hands, while a small seconds subdial is integrated within the tourbillon carriage at 6 o'clock. The tourbillon itself, a marvel of micro-engineering, not only serves as a visual centerpiece but also enhances the watch's chronometric performance by mitigating the effects of gravity on the regulating organ. The Calibre 187H operates at a frequency of 2.5 Hz (18,000 vibrations per hour) and boasts a power reserve of 50 hours, ensuring reliable timekeeping throughout the day. The movement's architecture, comprised of 196 components and 21 jewels, is a testament to Breguet's mastery of traditional watchmaking techniques.
