We've seen some gorgeous watches from Breguet before but this one is worthy of note . The Ref. 5347 is their latest "Grande Complication" and features two tourbillons which work independently of each other and turn around the dial every 12 hours. The in-house movement has 570 parts. The watch has a 44mm platinum case with front and back sapphire crystals. The watch sells for 300,000 Euros. As Alberto from The Purists noted in his review from Basel, this watch is really thick and therefore lacking some of the grace of other Breugets but given the intricacies of this watch, I think the artists of Breguet can be forgiven for needing a bit of room to work.
