One of the greatest wristwatches ever produced, this legendary Breguet Empire was purchased in Paris on the 3rd of March 1955 and sold to the Princess Marie Francoise de Bourbon-Parma, as confirmed by its handwritten extract from the archives.
This early example measures 35mm and comes in solid 18K yellow gold, contains the revered observatory Peseaux caliber 260 and displays the time upon a divine two-tone silver dial of guilloché, which breguet hands hover gracefully above. It is paired on a period correct and French crafted brick bracelet of solid 18K yellow gold, alloyed the Parisian way, by master maisons Jabaudon & Cie.
As of late, these large size Empires have captured the imagination of collectors and enthusiasts alike. Goldfinger’s is proud to have this phenomenal piece of horological history, juxtaposed with Royal French provenance, in our collection.
