Lot Essay
The Breguet Certificate states that No. 3595 was sold to Envoyée à Ducon 23 Janvier 1821 for 1,220 Francs. Ducon was Breguet's agent in Bordeaux.
On the reverse of the dial are the following repairer's marks:
(a) Charles Leuton Du Bois, Horloger à Fleurier, Le 7 Decembre 1839; (b) Chs. Augte Rosselet: horloger, Fleurier le 10 Decembre 1863;
(c) Jles Fortier, 3 June 1870, Havre. Tardy records him at Quai d'Orlean; and
(d) H. Krugerila, Fr. Kroner. Hannova 4.II.1975.
The present watch is of the third series. A similar movement No. 4873 is illustrated in George Daniels, The Art of Breguet, Sotheby Parke Bernet 1975, page 287, plate 3621-b. The balance of No. 4873 is similar to that at No. 3595 but without the circular heat compensation weights.
