Breguet Classique Skeleton 'Tiffany & Co.'

Breguet makes the best dials in the biz. Yeah, we said it. Their signature engine-turned dials, individually numbered and hand-finished, are simply beautiful works of art. Executed here in their core line, the Classique - this particular watch offers something a bit more special than your run-of-the-mill Classique. Housed in a 35.5mm 18k yellow gold 'coin-edged' case with a sapphire crystal, a signed crown, and a polished bezel, it features a stunning satin silver dial with printed black 'Roman' indices and a largely 'skeletonized' center — revealing a beautiful guilloche openworked movement with a matching blued-steel 'Breguet' handset.  Fantastic. Powered by a stunning automatic movement from Breguet with a complete guilloche treatment and a 3/4 winding rotor, this piece comes paired to one of our Analog:Shift 'Merlot' alligator-pattern leather straps with a signed yellow gold pin buckle. There’s simply no question that Classique models constitute some of the best dress watches of the past 40 years — models that compete reference-for-reference with mainstays such as the Patek Philippe Calatrava and Vacheron Constantin Patrimony. And let’s be real: Where else can you find a Tiffany-signed, solid-gold dress watch from a high-caliber manufacture — let alone with an exotic dial — at a price like this? This is a true piece of art, beautiful and scarce, and there's no telling if and when one of these in any condition will surface again. Behold!
