One of the oldest players in the world of horology - Breguet - laid down the foundation for all the brands that emerged during and after the 18th century. From an essential feature like a self-winding movement to a much-lauded complication like a tourbillon, almost everything in between was infamously invented by Breguet. The watchmaking giant is adept at making the most refined and elegant wristwatches. Hailing from their prestigious Classique collection, reference 5157bb/11/9v6 is one of the most sought-after dress watches.

Upon first glance, this watch ticks all your checkboxes. Sized at 38mm, it envelops your wrist superbly. The guilloché centre dial, surrounded by the silver chapter ring bearing Roman numeral markers, is yet another invention by the house. The silver dial, encased in an opulent 18k white gold case, also features the delicate and dainty Breguet hands. This Classique Ultra-Slim is filled to the brim with Breguet design sensibilities, like their iconic fluted case band.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
