Breguet Classique Tourbillon Extra-Plat

Partially verified

This Breguet Classique Tourbillon Extra-Plat is a wristwatch featuring an automatic winding movement, Calibre 581 DR, which measures 3mm in thickness. The watch has a 41mm diameter case with a total thickness of 7.1mm. The dial incorporates a tourbillon cage positioned at 5 o'clock and a power reserve indicator located at 8:30. The timekeeping is displayed via blued Breguet-style hands at the center. The watch is presented on a black leather strap. The dial exhibits engine-turned patterns, and the watch is identified by the number 3191. The construction integrates decorative engravings on both the front and the back of the piece. As a tourbillon-equipped movement, the mechanism originates from a design concept patented in 1801 by Abraham-Louis Breguet.

Evidence for this section
  • “Their signature engine-turned dials, individually numbered and hand-finished”
  • “stunning tourbillon cage at 5 o'clock, and power reserve at 8:30”
  • “Measuring 41mm in diameter, the piece is an incredibly svelte 7.1mm”

Movement and Complication

The watch is powered by the automatic Calibre 581 DR movement. This mechanism is notable for its slender construction, measuring 3mm in thickness, which contributes to the overall low profile of the watch.

The movement includes a tourbillon, a complication originally patented in 1801 by Abraham-Louis Breguet. The source notes that while the tourbillon was historically intended to address gravity-related inaccuracies in pocket watches, it serves as a tribute to fine watchmaking in this contemporary wristwatch.

Evidence for this section
  • “slender automatic winding movement, Calibre 581 DR ticking within, measuring just 3mm in thickness”
  • “Patented in 1801 by Abraham-Louis Breguet, the tourbillon was designed to compensate for the chronometric inaccuracies gravity inflicts on pocket watch movements”

Identification and Origins

The watch is identified by the serial number 3191, which is prominently displayed on the dial. The source dates the production of this object to the 2020s.

The documentation emphasizes the hand-finished quality of the dial components and the overall decorative finish of the movement and case structure.
