The stunning silver dial is the standout feature of this watch. Guillioché patterning is at the heart and centre, with a small seconds dial at 6 o'clock counting up to 60 seconds. Around the edge of the main dial's guilloché are Roman numerals, and near 12 o'clock you'll find the brand's signature with the production number. The iconic Breguet hands in blue steel finish the watch. Protecting the dial is a sapphire crystal that is clean from wear. Overall, the watch is in great, unpolished condition.
