Lot Essay

This endangered species strap is shown for display purposes only and is not for sale. The watch will be supplied with a calf leather strap.

On 10 November 1801, horological legend Abraham Louis Breguet (1747-1823) received a patent for his ingenious tourbillon invention. Breguet designed the tourbillon to compensate for fluctuations and errors in time measurement caused by the position a watch is placed in.

Highly attractive and unusual, the present watch is numbered 1 of the extremely limited edition of 10 pieces in platinum produced in 2001 to celebrate the issue of the tourbillon patent to A. L. Breguet on 26 June 1801. Adding an further layer of desirability, the the inside of the coverlid is engraved 'La Magnetti Marelli a Jean, Mondiale F1 2002'.
