Exquisite Craftsmanship in 18K White Gold
The Breguet Reine de Naples 8918BB/5D/964 D0 is a testament to Breguet’s commitment to blending historical inspiration with modern luxury. Crafted in 18K white gold, this timepiece features an oval-shaped case measuring 36.5 mm x 28.45 mm, a design inspired by the first wristwatch created by Abraham-Louis Breguet for Caroline Murat, Queen of Naples. The bezel, dial flange, and crown are adorned with 117 brilliant-cut diamonds totaling approximately 1.15 carats, adding a radiant sparkle to the watch.
Captivating Mother-of-Pearl Dial
The silvered gold dial is hand-engraved on a rose engine and partially overlaid with white natural mother-of-pearl, creating a mesmerizing play of light and texture. The off-centered chapter ring features large Breguet Arabic numerals, complemented by blue Breguet-style open-tipped hands. At 6 o’clock, a pear-cut diamond adds a touch of elegance, while the ball attachment connecting the case band to the strap showcases Breguet’s attention to detail.
Precision Automatic Movement
At the heart of the 8918BB/5D/964 D0 lies the Breguet Caliber 537/3, a self-winding mechanical movement renowned for its reliability and precision.

Notably, it features a silicon escapement wheel and balance spring, enhancing its resistance to magnetic fields and ensuring long-term accuracy.
Luxurious Alligator Leather Strap
The watch is fitted with a mint green alligator leather strap, secured by an 18K white gold folding clasp set with 28 brilliant-cut diamonds totaling approximately 0.17 carats. This combination ensures both comfort and sophistication, making it suitable for any occasion.
