Breguet, No. 3912, completed on December 29, 1938, sold on June 7, 1939 to Monsieur Sorabji, for 15,600 Francs. Accompanied by an attestation from Breguet. Very fine and extremely rare 18K yellow gold gentleman’s chronometer wristwatch, with an 18K yellow gold buckle. "Empire à pattes", polished, fluted band polished, gold screwed bars, concave lugs. Notes The records show that this watch benefited from "ré-glage de 1ère Classe", which is the highest standard of finishing and adjustment applied to chronometer movements. The use of a Guillaume balance in a wristwatch is exceptionally rare. These factors would justify the considerable amount originally paid for the watch.
