BREGUET TRADITION SECONDE RÉTROGRADE 7097

Reference: 7097BR/G1/9WU — 2018 — Mint Condition

DESCRIPTION:
2018 Breguet Tradition Seconde Rétrograde reference 7097BR/G1/9WU in mint condition. Complete with original box and papers. Abraham-Louis Breguet — inventor of the tourbillon, self-winding watch, and shock absorber — is the Tradition collection’s inspiration. The entire mainplate, bridges, barrel, gear train, escapement, and rotor are exposed on the front in a breathtaking panoramic display of 18th-century movement architecture reimagined in modern haute horlogerie.

Polished 18K rose gold case with Breguet’s iconic fluted coin-edge bezel. Case diameter 40mm. Scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. Sapphire exhibition caseback. 18K rose gold crown. Water-resistant to 30 meters. Black alligator strap with polished 18K rose gold tang buckle.

Off-centred silvered gold sub-dial at 12 o’clock hand-engraved on a rose engine with fine guilloche pattern — one of the most labour-intensive decorative techniques in watchmaking. Black printed Roman numeral hour markers. Polished blued steel Breguet-style hour and minute hands. Retrograde seconds at 10 o’clock — blued steel hand sweeps arc and instantaneously snaps back to zero at the 60-second mark. Breguet pare-chute shock absorber prominently visible at 4 o’clock — Breguet’s own invention protecting the balance staff pivots.

Self-winding Breguet Calibre 505 SR1 — 249 components. Peened mainplate and bridges delivering uniquely rich textured surface finish. Silicon balance spring for superior antimagnetic performance and thermal stability. 50-hour power reserve. Entirely symmetrical movement architecture — a defining Tradition characteristic drawing direct inspiration from Breguet’s early 19th-century pocket watches.

CONDITION:
