Description
This model has been manufactured in honour of the most famous invention of Abraham-Louis Breguet - the tourbillon - discreetly hidden behind an engine-turned cover. The fluted case is in 18-carat pink gold. The hour dial with its distinctive decoration can be seen through the opening on the cover. The movement, a true example of fine watchmaking, is visible through the sapphire crystal back.
