Breguet Classsique Dresswatch ref 5157 Ultra thin automatic Guilloché dial in 18 k white gold

Breguet was founded in 1775 by Abraham-Louis Breguet in Paris and quickly became a name synonymous with innovation, attracting a clientele that included European royalty. Among his many groundbreaking inventions were the tourbillon and, of course, the iconic “Breguet” style hands.

 

This elegant 18k white gold Classique dress watch features an ultra-thin 38 mm case with Breguet’s signature coin-edge fluting along the sides, a display caseback, and—stealing the spotlight—a beautifully hand-finished, silvered two-tone guilloché dial. It showcases a double minute track with a brushed finish, refined Roman numerals, and an inner hobnail pattern. With no date and no seconds, the dial is a clean, pure expanse punctuated only by the blued Breguet “apple” hands. Simply stunning.

 

Breguet has a long-standing tradition of crafting these guilloché dials. The brand still uses machines dating back to the 19th century, requiring exceptional steadiness and precise hand–eye coordination. The dials are made from gold and then silvered after the guillochage process.

 

As noted, the watch features a sapphire display caseback offering a full view of the automatic calibre 502.3—another delight for the eyes. This dapper piece is paired with a handsome Bulang & Sons strap and fitted with its original 18k white gold Breguet pin buckle and has been fully serviced by our watch maker.

 

This watch embodies the idea that “less is more,” making it a strong contender for the ultimate dress watch.
