Breguet Reine de Naples 8918BR/2C/364 D00D – Elegant Women’s Watch in Rose Gold
A Royal Timepiece of Enduring Sophistication
The Breguet Reine de Naples 8918BR/2C/364 D00D is a graceful expression of femininity and craftsmanship, inspired by one of the earliest wristwatches ever made. Commissioned by Caroline Murat, Queen of Naples, and designed by Abraham-Louis Breguet, the Reine de Naples collection honors that historical milestone with exceptional artistry and refinement. This exquisite luxury women’s watch merges traditional watchmaking with contemporary elegance, making it a brilliant choice for modern collectors with a love for heritage and detail.
18K Rose Gold Case with Iconic Oval Design
The timepiece features an oval case crafted in 18K rose gold, measuring 35.60 x 28.45 mm. Its unique silhouette, curved lugs, and Breguet’s signature fluted caseband distinguish it from traditional round watches, offering a bold yet elegant aesthetic. The bezel and dial flange are encrusted with 117 brilliant-cut diamonds (~0.94 carats), and the crown is adorned with a briolette-cut diamond, creating a shimmering frame that elevates the watch’s opulence. This shape enhances both comfort and visual sophistication.
Light Pink “Grand Feu” Enamel Dial
The light pink “Grand Feu” enamel dial is a highlight of the Reine de Naples 8918BR/2C/364 D00D. Enameling is one of the most labor-intensive decorative techniques in haute horlogerie. The off-centered hour and minute display is a Reine de Naples signature, featuring exquisite Breguet Arabic numerals and blued steel Breguet-style open-tipped hands. A pear-shaped diamond at 6 o’clock adds a delicate finishing touch, emphasizing the dial’s delicate charm and balance.
Breguet Caliber 537/3 – Self-Winding Precision
Powering this elegant timepiece is the Breguet Caliber 537/3, a self-winding mechanical movement comprised of 191 components and 26 jewels. Operating at 3.5 Hz (25,200 vph), the movement ensures 45 hours of power reserve. The use of a silicon balance spring and escapement wheel enhances long-term accuracy and resistance to magnetic fields. Visible through the sapphire crystal case back, the movement is finished with Côtes de Genève and polished beveling, offering a glimpse of Breguet’s fine finishing standards.
Pink Calfskin leather Strap with Diamond Clasp
To complete the feminine allure, the 8918BR/2C/364 D00D is presented on a pink calfskin leather strap that complements the enamel dial. It secures with a matching 18K rose gold folding clasp set with 28 brilliant-cut diamonds (~0.17 ct). The strap is supple yet durable, making it a comfortable fit for extended wear.
