Antique Breguet No. 2023 returned home, since the Breguet Museum and its President and CEO, Marc A. Hayek, have acquired an exceptional dashboard chronograph created for Bugatti at an auction that took place on Saturday 6th of February, 2016, in Paris. The piece, which was originally sold to Bugatti in 1932, belongs to a series of nine car timepieces that Breguet designed specifically for the brand. Its chrome-plated metal case measures 67 mm in diameter and houses a complication carefully chosen for the automotive industry: a tachymeter scale.

Its cream dial, which bears the words “Spécial pour Bugatti”, features the famous blued-steel Breguet hands that were designed in 1783.
Chronograph No. 2023 also has a cumulative minutes counter visible in an aperture at 6 o’clock. The timepiece is powered by a mechanical movement with a power reserve of eight days, which is wound using a crown located at 6 o’clock. This exceptional creation was sold in its original box.
