Notes

Dial, case and movement signed. DIM. 37 x 45 mm. THICKNESS 13 mm. An excellent example in the rarer pink gold version of this much sought after and scarce reference. The original Certificate of Origin confirms the pink gold case and silver dial with Breguet numerals. Ref. 5020 The so-called "TV Watch" (1995-2001) Reference 5020 is fitted with caliber 27-70 Q, like the famous Ref 3970. Due to its unusual shape and its similarity with the more traditional 3970, it was not produced in large numbers. Ref. 5020 was available in yellow, pink, and white gold, as well as platinum.
