Description

A masterpiece of horological artistry is embodied in the Breguet Classique Dragon 7145. The timepiece is housed in a 40mm rose gold case, by which an elegant profile is achieved. A thickness of merely 2.40mm is maintained, making it one of Breguet’s thinnest designs. The case is complemented by a sapphire crystal back, through which the movement’s intricate details can be admired.

The crimson red dial is crafted using the Grand Feu enamel technique, whereby a mixture of silica and metal oxides is applied to the dial and subjected to multiple firings at extreme temperatures. A mesmerizing depth and richness of color are thus created. The dial is adorned with a hand-engraved rose gold dragon, by which the pinnacle of Breguet’s craftsmanship is showcased. A natural white mother-of-pearl pearl is guarded by this mythical creature, symbolizing precious wisdom. Roman numerals and a minutes track are arranged on the periphery, while clouds in a golden powder-pink hue are delicately placed throughout the composition. The time is indicated by Breguet’s signature open-tipped hands.

The watch is powered by the self-winding Calibre 502.3, by which remarkable precision is ensured. The movement is composed of 162 components and a 45-hour power reserve is provided. Both the balance-spring and pallet-lever are crafted from silicon, a material selected for its resistance to corrosion, wear, and magnetic fields. The gold oscillating weight is hand-decorated with a circular barleycorn guilloché pattern, by which traditional finishing techniques are honored.

A red alligator strap is fitted to the case, secured by a rose gold folding clasp. Water resistance is maintained to 30 meters. Production is limited to just eight pieces worldwide, by which exclusivity is guaranteed. This extraordinary timepiece is presented as a testament to Breguet’s unparalleled heritage in fine watchmaking and artistic craftsmanship.
