While many watchmakers have attempted the secret watch, few can
match up to the exquisite craftsmanship of one of the oldest luxury brand Breguet and the Secret de la Reine timepiece is one such watch.
The watch is a tribute to Queen Marie-Antoinette, one of Breguet’s most illustrious clients. At the front of the watch is a rose carving – a relief image on a shell. This version of the Secret de la Reine model is fitted on a luxurious bracelet of a cloth of gold, imitating the loops of a pleated ribbon.
As is traditional with secret watches, the time is revealed by pressing on the cameo rose. This finely carved cameo depicts the first petals of the rose, exalted by the diamonds set into the whole of the watch including the emblematic bow of the collection. Available in white or rose gold, the watch is paved with 432 brilliant-cut diamonds pivoting on a shaft to reveal the time.
