Breguet Souscription sets were made in a limited series of 300 examples, available in pink, white or yellow gold or platinum.

The unique idea of the Souscription watch was first conceived by Abraham Louis Breguet in 1794 during the French Revolution as a method to remain financially stable. A buyer could make a down payment of 25 percent for a watch of a limited series, with the balance due upon delivery. In this manner, Breguet watches became more accessible and the payments in advance helped finance the development of other projects.

The pocket watch accompanying the set is a replication of Breguet's perpetuelle watch invented in 1791.
