Sotheby's New York, Fine Watches from the Atwood Collection, 11 December 1986, lot 364
Accompanied by a Breguet certificate dated 8 September 2020.
A highly unusual Breguet, this complex pocket watch is executed in the style of an exhibition watch. The glazed dial and case back (both of which are detailed on the Breguet certificate) allow the owner to fully appreciate the intricacies of the watch's tourbillon, split-seconds chronograph and repeating work. Cased in silver and of large size and proportions, there is a particularly satisfying heft to the case.
