This Classique is in fact a variation on the Reference 5177BB\/29\/9V6, also in white gold, but with a sizeable difference : blue Grand Feu enamel is a first in this collection of refined models normally featuring white enamel or guilloch\u00e9 dials. Another difference lies in the absence of a date at 3 o\u2019clock. The result is a watch whose simplicity endows it with a beauty matching the tastes of the Japanese market. It was with the latter in mind and to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Breguet boutique in Ginza \u2013 the chic Tokyo shopping district where the Nicolas G. Hayek Center houses several Swatch Group boutiques \u2013 that this timepiece was created. A fluted case, welded lugs, Breguet numerals, open-tipped hands, a minute circle alternating tiny stars and symbols (picked up from historical Breguet pocket watches), a unique number, and a secret signature in the form of an almost invisible diaphanous engraving above 6 o\u2019clock : such are the distinctive features of the over two-century aesthetic identity, which will delight a Japanese audience also imbued with a powerful sense of tradition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Classique 5175, \u201cGinza Anniversary\u201d Special Edition CASE : 18K white gold, fluted case middle, sapphire [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":27065,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[80],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27068"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/21"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27068"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27068\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":27073,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27068\/revisions\/27073"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27065"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27068"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27068"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gmtmag.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27068"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
