Watchfinder is promoting a diamond-encrusted Breguet 5349 Double Tourbillon on its site that would have cost $850,000 new.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The record-breaking price is made more remarkable because Breguet is owned by Swatch Group, yet it is the Richemont-owned Watchfinder that will profit from the sale.<\/p>\n

Richemont’s pre-owned platform making money from rival brands is nothing new. There are 958 Rolex watches listed on the site today, 638 TAG Heuers and 602 Breitlings.<\/p>\n

Richemont’s biggest brands, Cartier, IWC and Panerai, have 923 watches listed with Watchfinder between them.<\/p>\n

The Breguet 5349 Double Tourbillon is described by Watchfinder as a “hulking mass of platinum and diamonds, with a 50mm wide, 18.65mm thick case”.<\/p>\n

It has 42 diamonds in the bezel, 33 in the case, 20 in the crown and 36 in the belt buckle clasp \u2014 a total of 163 diamonds totalling 30 carats.<\/p>\n

The watch’s dial is both guilloch\u00e9d and enamelled with a transparent blue glaze.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
