Breguet Reine de Naples

Overall Condition: Excellent condition overall. Case shows light signs of wear consistent with gentle use and age. Dial is intact and stable, showing no cracking. Matching handset and bracelet are in great condition.

Breguet makes the best dials in the biz. Yeah, we said it.

Their signature engine-turned dials, individually numbered and hand-finished, are simply beautiful works of art. You’d be hard-pressed to find such fine attention to detail in a watch costing many times what, say, a time-only or time-and-date model from the brand’s Heritage line trades for.

This incredible piece, a Reine de Naples, honors a wristlet made by Abraham-Louis Breguet for Caroline Murat — younger sister of Napoleon Bonaparte — in the early 19th century. One of the world's first dedicated wristwatches, it inspired a modern collection whose oval-shaped cases and sumptuous materials honor the legacy of the world's most important watchmaker.

Housed in an oval-shaped 18K white gold case with a diamond-set bezel, a diamond cabochon crown at 4 o'clock, and a sapphire crystal, it features a stunning, purple mother-of-pearl dial with a large Roman numeral 'XII' and a blued steel 'spade' handset. Powered by the automatic Breguet Calibre 537/3 movement, it comes paired to an exquisite diamond-studded, dual-strand chain bracelet in white gold.

Unconventional and historically inspired, this Reine de Naples is an excellent cocktail watch for special occasions or a perfect everyday timepiece for the more adventurous among us. Designed and produced by one of the oldest names in watchmaking, it's sure to turn heads!
