Accompanied by a matching numbered Breguet box.This Breguet watch, no. 247, was completed in 1835 according to the registers, and features individual crowns for setting and winding. These features, early for the period, are contained in an extra thin movement, placed in a complementary thin case. The construction of the case requires the regulator to run laterally to an aperture at the side of the case, thereby voiding any need to open the watch for regulation and having no need for a cuvette.
