In 2002, the house of Breguet introduced the Reine de Naples collection to pay tribute to the first wristwatch that Abraham-Louis Breguet created in 1810 for Caroline Murat Bonaparte, Queen of Naples and younger sister of Napoleon Bonaparte of France (1782-1839). Today, the Reine de Naples watch collection has become one of Breguet’s most famous icons.
The present watch is a highly majestic example of an haute joaillerie timepiece among the Reine de Naples collection. Displaying the notable gem-setting skills of Breguet’s craftsmen, the watch enchants with its stunning sun-ray dial of alternating baguette diamond and mother-of-pearl bands in the iconic oval case and lavishly decorated diamond-set bezel. The beauty of the watch is further enhanced by such refined details as the diamond-clad ball-shaped lower lug, the glimmering briolette-cut diamond-set crown, as well as the diamond-set deployant Breguet clasp in the form of a rotor. This watch beguiles not only by the scintillating brilliance of its diamonds but also by the glazed section on the back which offers a glimpse into the mechanical intricacy and excellence for which Breguet is well-known. Resplendent in its perfect balance of history and modernity, the Reine de Naples timepieces are a timeless embodiment of feminine refinement and elegant.
Furthermore, the present watch is set with diamonds weighing approximately 9.51 carats.
