Notes
It is rare to find Breguet wristwatches from this period, because very few were made. This watch's very attractive black dial with copper-colored indications, is typical of Art Deco design, with vertical Arab numerals separated by long gilt bâton markers. Even the slight oxidation of the dial contributes to its charm.
