Description: For Sale: WORLD'S THINNEST TOURBILLON, Breguet Classique Tourbillon Extra-Thin Automatic 5377 Platinum Breguet Classique Tourbillon Extra-Thin Automatic 5377 Platinum. This watch was one of the most notable introductions from Breguet at Baselworld. Available in a 42 mm diameter platinum case that measures a mere 7 mm thick, the 5377 Extra-Thin was the world’s thinnest tourbillon when it was released. This watch is unpolished and comes as a complete set with box and papers dated 2016. MSRP: $180,000 My Price: $84,500 The dial is in 18K gold and is silvered as well as engine-turned in four different patterns. The tourbillon, which rotates once every minute and displays small seconds, sits off-center at 5 o’clock. Positioned asymmetrically, the frosted chapter ring has Roman numeral hour markers, with minute dots on the outermost part of the ring. The hour and minute hands are open-tipped Breguet style in polished stainless steel which has been blued. A power reserve indicator, which indicates from 0-90 hours via a straight blued hand, is located in between 8 and 9 ‘clock. Each piece is individually numbered and signed Breguet. Four engine-turned patterns demonstrate the fine workmanship with a hobnail pattern for the hours and minutes chapter, a barleycorn surround, a straight chevron pattern for the power-reserve indicator at 8 o’clock, and cross-hatching to outline each feature. A blue sapphire crowns the center of the tourbillon bridge to draw the eye down from the hands. The new caliber 581DR movement is a mere 2.97 mm thick. It features a platinum monobloc micro-rotor, 42 jewels, and it beats at a frequency of 4Hz (which is a high frequency for a tourbillon). It has been adjusted in six positions. The tourbillon carriage and the balance are in titanium. The balance spring is made of silicon and the escapement is in silicon and anti-magnetic steel. A patented “high-energy” barrel provides an impressive 90-hour power reserve. “This new movement, protected by two patents, has been made into a work of art; the fine engraving and superb workmanship can be admired through the sapphire-crystal caseback.” The case features a finely fluted case band with welded lugs and a leather strap with a triple-blade folding clasp. The water-resistance rating is 30 meters. (5377/PT/12/9WU – platinum)
