Breguet 5157BR/11/9V6 Classique Automatic Ultra Slim 38mm Mens Watch

The Breguet Classique Extra-Plate 5157BR/11/9V6 is a masterclass in horological purity. With its ultra-thin profile and elegant simplicity, this watch epitomizes the classic dress watch. Crafted in 18k rose gold and designed for those who appreciate understated luxury, it offers everything essential—nothing superfluous.

Case & Proportions

The timepiece features a 38 mm case made of 18k rose gold, measuring a sleek ~5.4 mm in thickness. This extra-plate dimension ensures a refined profile that slips comfortably under a shirt cuff. The case is adorned with Breguet’s signature fluted case-band, adding visual texture and a nod to the brand’s heritage. The case back is sapphire crystal, offering a view of the movement within.

Dial & Hands

The silvered gold dial is engine-turned by hand—a traditional guilloché finish, including fine “Clous de Paris” hobnail pattern. Around the edge is a flat chapter ring with printed Roman numerals. The hands are blued steel, crafted in the iconic “Breguet” style with open tips, offering excellent contrast and timeless elegance. Small details like the secret signature add authenticity and complexity without clutter.

Movement & Performance

Inside beats the Breguet Calibre 502.3, an automatic movement engineered for elegance. The rotor is off-center, and it features a silicon balance spring for improved performance and resistance. With 35 jewels and running at 21,600 vph (3 Hz), it offers approximately 45 hours of power reserve. The ultra-thin movement height (2.4 mm) contributes significantly to the slim profile of the overall watch.

Strap & Wearability

The watch is paired with a brown alligator leather strap with a matching rose-gold pin buckle, delivering a timeless and comfortable fit. Despite its luxurious build, it remains highly wearable: the moderate diameter, minimal thickness, and classic two-hand format make this an ideal choice for formal wear and dress occasions.
