Note du spécialiste

This endangered species strap is shown for display purposes only and is not for sale. The watch will be supplied with a calf leather strap.

On 10 November 1801, horological legend Abraham Louis Breguet (1747-1823) received a patent for his ingenious tourbillon invention. Breguet designed the tourbillon to compensate for fluctuations and errors in time measurement caused by the position a watch is placed in.

Highly unusual, the tourbillion certificate confirms that the present timepiece is part of a special edition of non-limited commemorative timepieces, individually numbered from 1801. The watch was produced to celebrate the issue of the tourbillon patent to A. L. Breguet on 26 June 1801.
