Breguet 8561 Classique
The Breguet Ref. 8561 in 18k white gold captures the maison’s timeless union of precision and artistry. Its silver guilloché dial, blued Breguet hands, and finely fluted case embody classical restraint, while the diamond-set bezel and lugs add a discreet touch of brilliance. Powered by a hand-wound movement and paired with a leather strap, this 1990s example merges traditional craftsmanship with subtle opulence- a perfectly balanced expression of Breguet’s enduring elegance.
Excellent vintage condition with very minor wear
During the 1990s, Breguet reaffirmed its identity as the modern heir to 18th-century horological artistry. The Ref. 8561 exemplifies that vision: an 18k white gold case adorned with hand-set diamonds, framing the maison’s hallmark guilloché dial and pomme hands. Each element, from the engraved dial surface to the coin-edge caseband, reflects centuries of refinement carried into a contemporary form.
At a time when many watchmakers leaned toward complexity, Breguet remained faithful to proportion and detail. The 8561, with its restrained geometry and jeweled accents, embodies the quiet confidence of true craftsmanship. Today, it stands as an elegant choice for collectors who appreciate classical design elevated by the lightest touch of brilliance.
