The Breguet Tradition Quantième Rétrograde 7597 (Ref. 7597BR/G1/9WU) is a breathtaking tribute to the genius of Abraham-Louis Breguet. This timepiece doesn't just tell time; it puts the entire mechanical soul of the watch on display, drawing direct inspiration from the legendary "souscription" watches of the late 18th century.

An Architectural Masterpiece
The standout feature of this 40mm rose gold masterpiece is its open-worked design, offering a symmetrical view of the movement’s bridges, gears, and escapement directly on the dial side.

The Floating Date: A marvel of engineering, the Retrograde Date hand is curved on a vertical plane with multiple levels. This allows it to "fly" over the intricate movement components before reaching the date arc between 3 and 9 o'clock. At the end of the month, it snaps back to 1 in a flash of mechanical brilliance.

Signature Aesthetics: Features the iconic off-centered silvered gold dial, hand-engraved on a rose engine (guilloché), and finished with blued steel Breguet "moon" hands.

Luxury Materials: The case is forged in 18kt Rose Gold with the signature fluted caseband, paired with a rich brown crocodile skin strap and a matching rose gold buckle.

Precision Engineering: Calibre 505Q
Powered by the self-winding Calibre 505Q, this watch blends historical aesthetics with cutting-edge technology:

Reverse Inline Lever Escapement: Featuring silicon horns and a silicon balance spring for superior resistance to magnetism and wear.

Power Reserve: 50 hours of reliable performance.

Exhibition Back: While the main show is on the front, the sapphire caseback reveals the gold oscillating weight, inspired by the earliest automatic winding systems.
