Quick TakeImagine a watch that's not just a timekeeper, but a conversation starter, a wrist-borne sculpture that whispers of royalty. That's the Breguet Reine de Naples 8918 in yellow gold. It's a symphony of contrasts, with the warmth of gold playing against the cool sparkle of 118 diamonds. The oval case, a nod to its 19th-century inspiration, is a canvas for the artistry of Breguet's dial makers, with their hand-engraved numerals and off-center subdial. But beneath the surface beauty lies a horological powerhouse, the self-winding Calibre 537/3, with its silicon components for precision and durability. This isn't just a watch, it's a legacy, a testament to the enduring allure of fine craftsmanship and timeless design.

DescriptionThe Breguet Reine de Naples 8918 in 18-karat yellow gold boasts an oval case, measuring 36.5mm in height, 28.45mm in width, and a slim 10.05mm in thickness. Its design is a tribute to the wristwatch created for Caroline Murat, Queen of Naples, in 1810, featuring an off-centered chapter ring adorned with Breguet's signature Arabic numerals.

Powering this masterpiece is the self-winding Calibre 537/3 movement, renowned for its technical prowess and precision. With a frequency of 3.5Hz (25,200 vibrations per hour), the movement consists of 191 components, 26 jewels, and a power reserve of 45 hours. The balance spring, lever, and escape wheel, crafted from silicon, contribute to exceptional chronometric performance and resistance to magnetic fields and temperature fluctuations. The watch also features a platinum oscillating weight and a Breguet balance wheel, further enhancing its accuracy and reliability. A sapphire caseback offers a glimpse into the intricate workings of the movement, while the bezel, dial flange, and crown, set with 118 diamonds totaling approximately 1.15 carats, add a touch of brilliance and sophistication.
