The present lot demonstrates with glistening complexity the multifaceted intersection of high horology and automobile production: Breitling’s history of chronographic elegance lends to a classic partnership with Bentley that celebrates the beautiful ideals of the prestigious British automobile brand. The watch weighs a total of 305.7 grams and originally retailed for $185,000. An overall tour-de-force of features and aesthetic flourish, the Breitling Bentley Mulliner presents a perpetual calendar, chronograph and a delicate moon phase in a timepiece that exudes opulence: a stunning white gold case and band paneled with intricate diamond details. The striking dial is an alluring amber metallic, a mimetic reference of one of the Bentley’s most popular exterior paint colors – a testament to the multifaceted correlation that exists between automobile design and horology. The inscription on the case back of the present lot, “limited edition no. 1/1”, is a declaration to the utter singularity of this model and its role as a grand illustration of a time-honored partnership and a shared commitment to the paragon of luxury craftsmanship.
