Notes

Part of the complicated line of Breitling watches, the panda split-second chronograph has to be one of the most attractive complicated wristwatch ever made by the firm. Research indicated that they were made in very small quantities, in fact one of the rare other reference 764 to have appeared at auction had the next case number (1'354'591). Cased in a very appealing 38 mm.and with razor sharp lugs indicating little or no polish to the case, this 784 belongs in the best chronograph collections.
