Celebrating its 250th anniversary, Breguet unveils the Tradition Seconde Rétrograde 7035, a timepiece that marries historical reverence with contemporary artistry. Limited to 250 pieces, this watch exemplifies the Maison’s legacy of innovation while introducing subtle refinements that elevate its design and mechanics.
A Fusion of Heritage and Modernity
Crafted in Breguet’s proprietary 18k Breguet Gold alloy—a blend of gold, silver, copper, and palladium—the 38 mm case radiates a warm, antique inspired hue, resisting oxidation and fading. This compact diameter marks a return to the collection’s roots, offering a unisex appeal that diverges from recent larger models. The case features Breguet’s signature fluted band and welded lugs, while the sapphire caseback reveals the meticulously finished movement.
A Legacy Reimagined
Priced at US$47,000, the Tradition 7035 is more than an anniversary piece—it’s a testament to Breguet’s ability to balance tradition with innovation. The reintroduction of a 38mm case, paired with the debut of Breguet Gold and the Quai de l’Horloge dial, reflects a thoughtful evolution of the collection’s identity 4510. For connoisseurs, this watch is not merely a timekeeper but a wearable archive of horological history, offering a tactile connection to the ingenuity that has defined Breguet for two and a half centuries.
In an era where watchmaking often prioritizes novelty over nuance, the Tradition 7035 stands as a reminder of Breguet’s enduring commitment to craftsmanship—a celebration of where the Maison has been and a bold step toward its future 11.
