Preowned Breguet Openworked Tourbillon 3355PT/00/986
The Preowned Breguet Openworked Tourbillon 3355PT/00/986 is a masterful expression of Swiss haute horlogerie, blending intricate skeletonized artistry with Breguet’s legendary tourbillon complication. Housed in a 35 mm platinum case with a fixed platinum bezel, this watch exudes refinement and enduring luxury. Its openworked construction reveals the full mechanical depth of the movement, creating a timepiece that is as much a work of art as it is a precision instrument.
Skeletonized Dial and Signature Design
The dial is a remarkable showcase of skeletonized craftsmanship, where every bridge, plate, and gear has been meticulously hand-engraved and finished by master artisans. At the 6 o’clock position, the one-minute tourbillon carriage commands attention, offering a mesmerizing display of rotating mechanics while improving timekeeping accuracy. Time is displayed on an off-set sub-dial with Roman numeral hour markers and the iconic blued Breguet hands, ensuring legibility while enhancing aesthetic beauty.
Exceptional Movement and Performance
At its heart, this masterpiece is powered by the manual-winding Breguet Caliber 558 SQ1, an openworked movement that epitomizes horological excellence. With 21 jewels, a frequency of 18,000 vibrations per hour (2.5 Hz), and a power reserve of approximately 50 hours, it ensures lasting precision and reliability. Every component of the calibre is hand-engraved, elevating the movement into a canvas of artistic expression that is visible from every angle.
Strap and Practical Features
Completing the timepiece is a black alligator leather strap with a platinum deployment buckle, offering both comfort and security on the wrist. Despite its intricate craftsmanship, the watch is water-resistant up to 30 meters (100 feet), protecting it from light splashes and brief exposure to rain. The 35 mm case size ensures a refined presence on the wrist, striking the perfect balance between classic proportions and modern sophistication.
