Exquisite Craftsmanship in 18K White Gold

The Breguet Reine de Naples 8918BB/5D/964 D0 is a testament to Breguet’s commitment to blending historical inspiration with modern luxury. Crafted in 18K white gold, this timepiece features an oval-shaped case measuring 36.5 mm x 28.45 mm, a design inspired by the first wristwatch created by Abraham-Louis Breguet for Caroline Murat, Queen of Naples. The bezel, dial flange, and crown are adorned with 117 brilliant-cut diamonds totaling approximately 1.15 carats, adding a radiant sparkle to the watch.

Captivating Mother-of-Pearl Dial

The silvered gold dial is hand-engraved on a rose engine and partially overlaid with white natural mother-of-pearl, creating a mesmerizing play of light and texture. The off-centered chapter ring features large Breguet Arabic numerals, complemented by blue Breguet-style open-tipped hands. At 6 o’clock, a pear-cut diamond adds a touch of elegance, while the ball attachment connecting the case band to the strap showcases Breguet’s attention to detail.

Notably, it features a silicon escapement wheel and balance spring, enhancing its resistance to magnetic fields and ensuring long-term accuracy.

Luxurious Alligator Leather Strap
