This Breguet Classique Grande Complication is another masterpiece from Breguet which is very functional and has a classic look on it. But with its complications and classic look comes a flaw, this timepiece is not a water resistant.Yes, surprisingly, this Breguet timepiece is not a water resistant which makes it very fragile especially on wet surfaces so you really have to take care of it and make sure that it doesn't soak on water. Despite of that flaw, this watch is undoubtedly a classic with its 18 carat rose gold case and brown alligator strap. This watch is also very functional with its Perpetual calendar function that has a date, month, day, leap year, moon phase, and even moon age indicator. These functions along with it minute repeater are seen on the sub dials and retrograde lies on silver dial. This dial also has a ratcheted detailing on the center and is accented with blue hands and black Roman numeral hour markers.If not for its water resistant this watch would definitely be a hip though you can still get this for you watch collection for an approximate price of $284,500.00.
