Launched by Breguet at Basel in 2005, the ref. 3755PR was available on a limited basis due to the excessive number of man-hours required to make each watch. The off-centre chapter ring was patterned by hand, as was the fine decorative engraving to the skeletonized pink gold movement that could only be undertaken by a highly skilled craftsperson as one mistake would mean starting again with a blank ebauche. Only released in a platinum case when fitted with the pink gold movement, this model is one of the most classic examples of quality workmanship from the Breguet workshops in recent years.
