Summary of the Classique 5177
The watch construction is solid, proportionally balanced and holistically designed. With a well thought out philosophy of build which traverses all levels of the piece. Traditional blued steel hands, solid eighteen-carat gold guilloché dial and a slim but solid and technical calibre. Mixing modern materials such as silicon, with conventional ones as well as a DLC coated barrel, an effective classically inspired but strong modern movement. The decoration includes hand-finished internal corners, Geneva stripes, mirror finished steelwork and amongst the strongest and well-finished screws produced today. The wheels, although not viewed in the assembled calibre follow the companies original DNA. The free-sprung silicon balance spring, Swiss lever and escape wheel contribute to taking the calibre technologically one step forward. Retaining and perpetuating the original Breguet secret signatures not only on the dial but escape-wheel and on other parts, emphasizes the detail of thought that has gone into the development process.
