Notes

History: Bought back from Madame Baclin on 22 December 1938, for the sum of 2300 Francs. Resold to Monsieur Ducos on 12 October 1945. Re-purchased and sold to Monsieur L.H.Dulles on 19 February 1960, for the sum of 4000 Francs. Note: An unusual and elegant design of a watch with a dial that is atypical of Breguet. The inner dust cover over the movement is of solid gold, although never seen, as the movement can only be removed out of the front of the case with the pendant attached
