A new perpetual calendar joins the Breguet collections
The Quantième perpétuel 7327 reflects the very essence of the brand: simple to wear but complex in its creation. Created in the 18th century, this fascinating watchmaking function displays the exact date by taking into account the varying length of the months and the leap year cycle. To accomplish this feat, the movement must have a mechanical “memory” of four years, or 1,461 days.
A piece with a refined aesthetic
As fascinating with its movement as it is with its dial, this creation, offered in white or rose gold, has a timeless aesthetic that recalls the distinctive signs of the House in a contemporary spirit. The dial is adorned with a refined Clous de Paris design. Located at half past one on the dial, the moon phase has been hand-hammered to give a strong sense of realism. Its sky is coated with a blue lacquer composed of sequins that subtly reveal the stars depending on the orientation of the timepiece. The day, date and year indicators are entwined in harmony at the bottom of the dial. A quarter circle at half past ten on the dial indicates the months with a retrograde hand.
One of Breguet’s slimmest movements
Breguet has opted for the 502 calibre to which the additional mechanism providing the calendar function has been added. With its thickness of 4.5 mm, the 502.3.P movement remains one of Breguet’s slimmest. It has been designed to provide high performance despite its thinness. Its open barrel increases finesse while guaranteeing constant, high-performance energy. Its gold oscillating weight is off-centre to provide maximum space for the movement’s main components. This allows it to be integrated into the smallest of spaces.
