Combining the tourbillon and chronograph functions, the present lot has a slightly thicker case than the previous lot. Though the case shape is more imposing and substantial, it maintains the refined and elegant Breguet aesthetic. This Grand Complication from the master watchmakers in Breguet's Swiss atelier is a modern trophy for any connoisseur, and Mr. Fullerton's trained eye immediately recognized it as such as he curated his horological collection.
