Breguet 5140BB Classique 5140 18K White Gold White Grand Feu Enamel Dial

The Breguet Classique 5140 ref. 5140BB/29/9W6 is a refined expression of the maison's modern classical watchmaking, pairing a 40mm 18K white gold case with a traditional white grand feu enamel dial. Produced within the Classique line and powered by the ultra-thin self-winding caliber 502.3SD, it reflects Breguet's longstanding emphasis on elegant proportions, technical restraint, and historically grounded design. The display is deliberately pure, with central hours and minutes, a small seconds register, painted Breguet numerals, blued pomme hands, and the discreet secret signature that collectors associate with the firm's highest traditional dial work. The use of grand feu enamel gives the watch unusual visual depth and permanence, while the movement's slim architecture keeps the case notably svelte on the wrist. Caliber 502.3SD is especially appreciated for its thin automatic construction and its role in preserving the formal profile expected of a true dress watch. The 5140 was not a limited edition, but it has become increasingly attractive to collectors who want a contemporary Breguet that still feels closely tied to the brand's historic codes rather than modern sport-luxury trends. Its fluted caseband, welded lugs, and restrained proportions place it firmly in the lineage that defines the Classique family. For buyers focused on traditional Swiss high horology, this reference stands out as a serious enamel dial Breguet with mechanical substance and enduring collector appeal. Excellent Condition with Breguet box and papers dated 2012.
