- This watch is powered by the manual-winding Calibre 711. The movement is fully skeletonized and features comprehensive hand-engraving on the visible bridge components. A tourbillon carriage is mounted at the 6 o'clock position of the dial side. The dial is effectively replaced by the open-worked movement itself, which displays blued steel hands.

The exterior of the timepiece is set with 99 baguette-cut Top Wesselton diamonds, which provide significant coverage across the bezel, the lugs, the case band, and the crown. The total weight of these diamonds is estimated at approximately 11 carats. The case back features an exhibition aperture, allowing visibility of the rear of the skeletonized movement, with the reference number and serial number engraved onto the metal rim.

- The auction description provides a grade of 2 for the case, 2-01 for the dial, and 2* for the movement, classifying them as very good. The watch is sold with a Breguet service letter dated November 2018. It is secured to the wrist via a leather strap equipped with an 18k white gold deployant clasp.
