Lot Essay

The present chronograph wristwatch is distinguished but its very attractive black gloss dial featuring an inner copper-coloured spiral tachymeter scale. The subtle combination of the gilt-orange printing on a very well preserved pink gold case offers an appealing and up to date designable Breitling chronograph.
