Pour femme
The new Classique 7147 is an emblematic model imbued with a blend of classicism and tradition, something Breguet is exquisitely capable of producing. It is distinguished by all the refined details composing the identity of the manufacture since 1775. The dial of this new creation is crafted from grand feu enamel, upon which are applied the famously slender, dainty yet legible Breguet numerals, embodying an inestimably precious horological heritage and reminiscent of the early watches and clocks from the maison. Hours and minutes are indicated by traditional blued steel Breguet hands with an offset open tip, complemented by the small seconds discreetly sweeping around a 5 o’clock subdial. This handsome and elegant watch is completed with an alligator leather strap. The splendour of the Classique 7147 is also reflected in its movement, plainly visible through a sapphire crystal caseback and graced with Côtes de Genève and Clous de Paris hobnailing. Available in rose gold and white gold versions, this model houses calibre 502.3SD, which is equipped with a balance spring in silicon and an inverted in-line lever escapement with horns made of silicon — an extremely light material notably renowned for its non-magnetic properties. This endows the Classique 7147 with remarkable performance and reliability.
