Lot Essay
Featuring an impressive 24 cities on its dial, the Breguet Hora Mundi is an iconic model. One would expect a crowded dial, especially since there is a date aperture and date ring as well, but in true Breguet fashion the watch appears refined and elegantly designed. The two-tone silvered dial allows for the outer cities ring to be distinguished from the central sector and the case size is a well-proportioned 38mm. In addition, this watch is offered in good overall condition. Post Lot Text
