Every year, luxury watch brands release limited edition watches to celebrate the Lunar New Year, and Breguet is no exception. Their latest offering, the Breguet Classique 7145 Lunar New Year 2025, is a stunning timepiece that showcases the brand's craftsmanship and artistry.
The Classique 7145 features a 40mm rose gold case with fluting along the case walls, a signature Breguet design element. The dial is where the true beauty of this watch lies. It showcases a snake motif, meticulously hand engraved on an 18K gold surface. The dial is then polished and guilloche work is applied, with different patterns in non-symmetrical areas. The foliage surrounding the snake is hand painted to provide a striking accent to the intricate engraving and guilloche work.
Time is read on the dial using traditional Breguet hands in 18K rose gold. The watch is powered by the Breguet caliber 502, an automatic movement with 45 hours of power reserve. The movement is just 2.4mm tall, resulting in a slim case height of 6.5mm. The display caseback allows for a view of the beautifully finished movement, which features a solid 22K gold rotor adorned with hand-applied guilloche.
The Breguet Classique 7145 Lunar New Year 2025 is a limited edition of just 8 pieces, making it an extremely rare and exclusive timepiece. The retail price for this watch is CHF 69,000, reflecting the level of craftsmanship and the limited nature of the piece.
For collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate fine watchmaking and the artistry involved, the Classique 7145 Lunar New Year 2025 is a true masterpiece. It combines traditional techniques with modern design elements to create a watch that is both timeless and contemporary.
