74 - Breguet - Marine Big Date

Breguet - Marine Big Date A substantial, sporty yet elegant wristwatch with an oversized date display and a two-tone, hand-guilloché dial Movm. No. 01082, Ref. 5817, Cal. 517GG, Case No. 1384S, Dimensions 40 mm, circa 2025, Origin: Switzerland, Accessories: original gold clasp Case: 18K gold, fluted case band, screw-down sapphire crystal case back, screw-down crown, original solid gold deployant clasp. Dial: Silver, guilloché, applied blued Roman numerals, luminous dots, luminous hands. Movement: Automatic. With its distinctive approximately 40 mm case, reference 5817 presents a far more powerful image than the manufacture’s classical models, without abandoning the typical design elements one associates with Breguet. Particularly characteristic is the elaborate guilloché wave pattern on the dial. The applied Roman numerals and the distinctive Breguet hands lend the watch the classic elegance immediately associated with this brand. The outer minute track creates an appealing contrast, while the large date window at 6 o’clock provides balanced symmetry. It is precisely this contrast that makes the Breguet Marine Ref. 5817 so compelling: it is neither a traditional dress watch nor an outright sports watch. Instead, it combines Breguet’s refined French aesthetics with a confident, modern presence. The guilloché dial, the historic Breguet hands, and the robust case create a distinctive identity that sets it apart from the typical luxury sports watches of that era. Case: very good, slightly worn. Dial: very good. Movement: very good, in working order, cleaning recommended.
