The Classique collection contains many models, with and without complications. This reference 5157, introduced in 2005 as a successor to the smaller reference 5130, is the watch with no complications at all. The watches of the Classique line, inspired by the creations of the founder of the company, represent the ideal image of time: clear, precise, sustained in a strict style. All models of this line – from ultra-slim watches with manual or automatic winding to watches equipped with the most complex movements – are made in strict accordance with the technical requirements and aesthetic standards of watchmaking, as well as the traditional values of Breguet. The watches of the Classique line are the true embodiment of Breguet’s age-old tradition. The noble elements of the past, used in some models, such as the decoration of dials in the technique of “hot enamel” (grand feu) or hand-painted Arabic numerals, will cause genuine admiration among collectors and connoisseurs of the brand.
Breguet has been mastering the art of engine-turned guilloché dials since 1786, and it can be found on the Breguet Classique 5157. The Classique 5157 expresses by itself the infinity of time in a brilliantly restrained face, engine-turned by hand in the purest tradition of Breguet’s master-watchmakers.
Now, breguet is well known for its horological inventions. The tourbillon is perhaps the best-known complication from the brand, patented by Abraham-Louis Breguet in 1801.
At Baselworld 2018, Breguet presented its Classique 5157 Automatic Ultra Slim 5157BR/11/9V6 for the first time in rose gold. This timepiece celebrates the brand’s emblematic style.
