Breguet Marine Chronograph Silver Guilloché Dial 18k Yellow Gold Ref. 8490
ON HOLD
The Inside Story
Breguet introduced its Marine collection in 1990, honoring its rich tradition of maritime timekeeping. The brand’s legacy in precision chronometry dates back to its founding in 1775 by Abraham-Louis Breguet, a visionary watchmaker. In 1815, King Louis XVIII appointed Breguet as "Official Watchmaker to the French Royal Navy," solidifying its status as a master of marine chronometers.
This elegant Marine Chronograph, measuring 30mm in 18k yellow gold, combines heritage and sophistication. The coin-edge case features pump-style pushers and a distinctive setting crown, while the handmade dial showcases exquisite guilloché detailing, painted Roman numerals, and three subdials. A date window at 6 o'clock and Breguet’s iconic blued hands complete the striking design.
The watch is powered by the automatic Breguet caliber 550 movement and comes fitted with the pictured Breguet strap and an 18k yellow gold Breguet folding buckle. Accompanied by its original certificate of origin, warranty (noting a sale in 2007), and instructions, this timepiece has been fully checked and regulated by our watchmaker.
Breguet Marine Chronographs like this are an understated treasure in the market, perfect for collectors who value elegance and functionality. Contact us to make it yours today!
