Amidst a sea of Rolex Daytonas, it is refreshing to see another type of watch sell for more than CHF 2,000,000. Today at Christie's in Geneva, this Breguet et Fils self-winding, quarter repeating watch with the equation of time, day, month, and power reserve sold for a whopping CHF 3,245,000 (including buyer's premium), making this the second most expensive Breguet ever sold at auction.
Originally acquired by Charles-Louis Havas in 1817, this gorgeous watch has found a new home at a private Swiss museum. For more information on this piece, click here.
