Partially verified

The 46 mm diameter timepiece features a three-body, solid, polished case with lapidated lugs, a bidirectional rotating bezel for the slide-rule function, a sapphire crystal, and a screw-down case back embossed with the Bentley logo. The bicolor silver and champagne dial incorporates applied yellow gold indexes with luminous square dots, luminous baton hands, a double day-date aperture, and registers for seconds, 12 hours, and 30 minutes. It is powered by a rhodium-plated Caliber 13 movement with 29 jewels, a straight-line lever escapement, and a micrometer regulator. The watch is presented on an 18K yellow gold Breitling link bracelet with a deployant clasp. Dial, case, and movement are signed by Breitling.

Object description

Case and Dial Construction

The watch features a substantial 46 mm diameter case manufactured in 18K yellow gold, characterized by a three-body construction with polished surfaces and lapidated lugs. The design incorporates a bidirectional rotating bezel specifically engineered to operate an integrated slide-rule function. The case back is screwed down and includes embossed details, specifically the Bentley logo and additional edition markings, protecting the interior components beneath a sapphire crystal.

The bicolor dial is finished in silver and champagne tones, providing high contrast for the applied yellow gold indices and luminous square dots. Functional elements include three subsidiary registers for seconds, 12-hour, and 30-minute timing, alongside an outer tachometer scale. A double aperture at the three o'clock position displays the day and date, while luminous yellow gold baton hands indicate the time.

Movement and Functionality

The timepiece is driven by the Breitling Caliber 13, a rhodium-plated, self-winding mechanical movement containing 29 jewels. The movement is configured with a straight-line lever escapement, a monometallic balance, a shock absorber system, and a self-compensating flat balance spring. Regulation is achieved via a micrometer regulator, and the movement includes a hack mechanism for precise time setting.

The auction description reports the watch has been professionally graded. The chronograph functions are operated via round push-buttons located on the side of the case.
