Lot Essay
With no expense spared, the present lot, an 18k rose gold and diamond-set Breguet Reine de Naples wristwatch is an extremely beautiful, lavish, and mechanically impressive marvel. The oval-shaped timepiece features an attractive lapis lazuli and mother-of-pearl day/night indicator, in which the escapement has been ingeniously integrated as the sun. Incredibly, the escapement remains functioning without any aspect of mechanical compromise while the disk rotates. Complementing the jovial and whimsical “sun” is a hand-engraved titanium moon.
Further extravagant details include a rose engine cut guilloché dial, hand-engraved movement and rotor, and both an internally and externally diamond-set bezel. Additional diamonds have been set into the clasp and crown totaling 143 stones and weighing an approximated 1.45 carats.
