You might be curious about the numbers after the Breguet name on the dial, which in this case is “Breguet 4923.” These same numbers are on the back of the case, and this is part of the serial number of the watch as well as part of a system Breguet uses to ensure the watch remains unaltered in the future as the numbers for the various pieces need to match up.

Breguet produces the Breguet Classique Power Reserve 7137 watch only in 18k white gold or 18k yellow gold. That makes it one of the rare watches today even available in yellow gold. Each version comes attached to a lovely black or brown alligator strap and a matching gold deployant clasp. The overall look and feel of a watch like the Breguet Classique Power Reserve 7137 is one that simply oozes refinement and class, but also visual interest and history. This is a serious conversation piece dress watch.

While Breguet is often known for some extremely complex watches such as their perpetual calendars, tourbillons, or minute repeaters, I think watches like the Breguet Classique Power Reserve 7137 are where most Breguet watch lovers find enjoyment on a regular basis. Breguet, like most brands that do very high-end work, aren’t really designing those pieces to be regularly worn – but mostly as collector’s watches. The Classique family of watches however contains an ample selection of handsome dress-style watches for daily or regular wear. With their historically significant, timeless designs, it is no wonder that so many politicians and captains of business choose Breguet over other brands such as Patek Philippe, especially in Europe and in the East.

The two versions of the Breguet Classique Power Reserve 7137 watch are the ref. 7137BA119V6 in 18k yellow gold and the ref. 7137BB119V6 in 18k white gold (as seen in this article). Price of each gold Breguet Classique Power Reserve 7137 model is currently the same, at $36,200. breguet.com
