Overview
The Breguet Classique 5177BB/2Y/9V6 pairs an 38 mm 18k white gold case with a blue grand feu enamel dial, placing it among the most refined expressions of the Classique line. The characteristic Breguet numerals, rendered in applied gold, reinforce the dial's connection to the maison's two-century heritage of horological artistry. Calibre 777Q powers the watch, delivering the reliable, hand-finished movement quality expected of a Breguet dress reference.
History
The Classique line traces its roots to Breguet's founding philosophy of legibility, elegance, and technical refinement — principles Abraham-Louis Breguet himself championed in the late eighteenth century. Reference 5177 in its blue grand feu enamel configuration has been part of the contemporary Classique catalogue since 2017, representing the maison's ongoing commitment to traditional vitreous enamel craftsmanship at a time when the technique is practiced by very few Swiss manufactures. Grand feu enamel dials require multiple firings in a kiln at high temperatures, making each example subtly unique and highly regarded among collectors of artisanal horology.
Notable points
- Blue grand feu enamel dial fired at high temperature, producing a depth and luminosity unattainable by printed or lacquered alternatives.
- Breguet numerals in applied gold echo the hand-engraved hour markers found on antique Breguet pocket watches.
- 38 mm 18k white gold case positions the 5177 as a refined, wrist-appropriate dress watch rather than a statement piece.
- Calibre 777Q is a manufacture movement decorated and regulated to Breguet's exacting in-house standards.
- Grand feu enamel production is a rare artisanal skill, and each dial is considered a minor work of decorative art in its own right.
