Breguet Réf.5135 - Squelette - 1990
Description
Ultra-thin Hand-Wound Watch – Fully Hand-Engraved Movement – Original Papers Included
The Breguet reference 5135 embodies a remarkable synthesis of 18th-century horological tradition and contemporary mechanical artistry. Produced in 1990, this hand-wound skeleton watch is a true technical and aesthetic masterpiece, worthy of the visionary genius of Abraham-Louis Breguet.
This horological work of art features an ultra-thin 18k yellow gold case, with finely fluted sides, housing a fully skeletonized and hand-engraved movement. Every single component of the calibre has been openworked, decorated, and brought to light with an exceptional level of craftsmanship. On the dial side, hand-engraved golden bridges, exposed gear trains, and jewel-set pivots compose a mechanical ballet visible through the double sapphire crystal. Surrounding the skeletonized display, a silvered outer chapter ring with hand-painted black Roman numerals ensures clear legibility in the most traditional Breguet style.
