Breguet’s new Classique Double Tourbillon ‘Quai de l’Horloge’ is a collector’s dream

The famed Classique Double Tourbillon ‘Quai de l’Horloge’ is arguably the ultimate homage to the richness of Breguet’s history. It was with the piece that the Maison would introduce the world to the idea of the tourbillon, which would eventually be patented by Abraham Louis-Breguet himself. All these years later, its latest reiteration, the 5345 in rose gold, still references the same styling cues, as well as Breguet’s legendary birthplace in Paris.

Collectors are again reminded of the brilliance of the Double Tourbillon here. Blending technical refinement and the beauty of the sapphire crystal dial, the timepiece reveals the complexity of its 588N2 mechanical movement at the heart of it. These two tourbillons make an impressive full independent turn, highlighting the ingenious central mainplate.

The Classique Double Tourbillon ‘Quai de l’Horloge’ 5345’s dial enjoys the unique Breguet blue lacquer most evident in the Roman numerals and minutes display. Of course, the 46-mm case is always a treat for collector’s. And this 18-carat rose gold expression is no different.

These generous dimensions provide ample space to showcase the watch’s mechanics and artistic detail. The sapphire crystal case back especially offers quite the view of the intricately engraved images and fine decorations.

Satin-brushed and featuring a rounded-off polish known as poli-berçe, the barrel bridges also boast the Breguet ‘B.’ Meanwhile, at the back is where collectors can fully appreciate the striking engraved aerial view of Abraham-Louis Breguet’s workshop at 39 Quai de l’Horloge.

Take a close look of this magnificent timepiece by heading to Breguet.
