Platinum, “Grand Feu” enamel, and a moonphase that’s pure poetry
The Breguet Classique 7787 is where timeless elegance meets celestial charm, honouring the visionary spirit of Abraham-Louis Breguet. Since founding his workshop in 1775, Breguet redefined watchmaking with a focus on clarity and simplicity—an ethos that remains at the heart of this masterpiece.
Crafted from platinum, a metal long celebrated for its rarity and resilience, the Classique 7787 commands attention with its luminous grey hue. Platinum’s hypoallergenic properties and resistance to corrosion ensure this watch endures for generations, while its weight lends a reassuring presence on the wrist. At 39mm in diameter and 10.3mm thick, the case maintains the Classique collection’s signature elegance, with fluted sides, slim lugs, and a refined bezel.
The true star of the show is the “Grand Feu” enamel dial, an exquisite black canvas that showcases Breguet’s artistry. Achieved through multiple firings at extreme temperatures, this dial radiates depth and brilliance. Its Breguet numerals and rhodium-plated moon-tip hands offer perfect legibility, while the moonphase complication steals the spotlight.
The moonphase aperture reveals a hammered gold disc representing the moon, set against a starry blue sky. Its 29.5-day cycle is marked on a graduated scale, combining romance with precision. Below, a power reserve indicator balances the dial with functional elegance.
Inside, the Classique 7787 houses the Manufacture calibre 591 DRL. This self-winding mechanical movement vibrates at 4 Hz and offers a 38-hour power reserve. Its standout feature is a highly accurate moonphase mechanism, calibrated to deviate by just one day every 348.7 years—making it one of the most precise in its class. The movement’s beauty is visible through the sapphire crystal caseback, with a hand-engraved, rhodium-plated gold rotor featuring a barley-grain guilloché pattern.
