Breguet Introduces The Classique Souscription In Platinum

The luxury watchmaker has expanded its anniversary collection with a new precious metal variant. This latest addition brings a refined aesthetic to a design that recently earned top industry honors.

A Refined Platinum Aesthetic

The new Classique Souscription 2026PT is crafted from 950 platinum, offering a distinct luster and weight compared to previous iterations. While it maintains the core design of the award-winning model, it introduces a subtle but significant color shift. The white grand feu enamel dial now features the brand’s signature, Arabic numerals, and the minute track in blue petit feu enamel, replacing the black tones found on the earlier rose gold version.

Precision Engineering And Movement

At the heart of the timepiece is the manual-winding Breguet VS00 movement. This mechanism is constructed from gilded brass, finished with a shot-blasted effect on the bridges and plate. It provides a substantial power reserve of 96 hours from a single barrel and operates at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour. To ensure stability and accuracy, the watch utilizes a patented Nivachron balance spring with a traditional overcoil.

Technical Specifications And Design

The case measures 40mm in diameter and 10.8mm in thickness, with a lug-to-lug distance of 48mm. A domed sapphire crystal with antireflective coating protects the dial. The case back is equally detailed, showcasing a Quai de l’Horloge guilloché pattern visible through a sapphire window. To complement the platinum case and blue dial accents, the watch is paired with a navy-blue large-scaled alligator leather strap and a matching platinum buckle.

Market Positioning And Pricing

This platinum edition is positioned as a premium alternative for collectors who prefer white precious metals over yellow or rose gold. The Classique Souscription 2026PT is available for €68,000 or CHF 58,000. This reflects the increased production complexity and material costs associated with platinum compared to the 18K gold anniversary model.
