The present Classique Tourbillon in pink gold could not be a more fitting ambassador for Breguet, who invented himself the Tourbillon complication in 1801 and went on to produce the world's first wristwatch in 1810. The highly complicated Classique Tourbillon displays the signature twirling cage at 6 o'clock and a symmetrical power reserve indicator at 12, a useful complication to monitor the impressive 5-day power reserve. The dial itself displays 3 exquisite guilloché patterns and a silvered minute track, for an elegant and timeless feel.
