Every December, at around this time, Breguet shares news of a new watch designed for Valentine’s Day.
It is a tonic to cast your mind forward to the most romantic day of the year and the approaching end of winter.
Breguet’s latest offering is a 28-piece limited edition Reine de Naples, which is decorated with tiny red hearts for hour markers and 66 hand-set rubies on a white mother-of-pearl dial framed by a diamond-set bezel.
The watch’s crown also has a cabochon-cut ruby and its lugs are set with pave diamonds.
Housed in a 33 x 24mm 18ct white gold egg-shaped case is Breguet’s 3Hz 586/1 self-winding movement, which has a silicon balance spring and 38-hour power reserve.
The Côtes de Genève-finished movement, with its platinum oscillating weight, is presented via an open caseback.
Price is on application, but other models of the same reference typically sell for around £35,000.
