The Reine de Naples collection, inspired by the first wristwatch crafted for Queen Caroline Murat, Napoleon Bonaparte's sister, remains a symbol of elegance and innovation. Known for its distinctive oval-shaped case and intricate detailing, this collection continues to captivate watch enthusiasts worldwide. For Valentine’s Day 2025, Breguet unveils a stunning reinterpretation of this iconic timepiece, adorned with diamonds, pink sapphires, and red rubies, embodying the essence of love and luxury.
The dial of the Reine de Naples is crafted from high-quality mother-of-pearl, renowned for its iridescent beauty. This delicate material, extracted from the central section of nacreous shells, is meticulously polished to enhance its natural shimmer. The oval-shaped dial reflects light in a mesmerizing play of colors, creating a dynamic visual effect that changes with every angle.
Breguet showcases its expertise in gem-setting with this timepiece. The flange is adorned with 54 brilliant-cut diamonds, transitioning to 18 gradient pink sapphires as it approaches the base of the dial. At the heart of the design lies a ruby-set heart, symbolizing passion and romance. The seamless gradient from diamonds to rubies is a testament to Breguet's craftsmanship and attention to detail.
The 18k white gold case features fine fluting and is set with 45 brilliant-cut diamonds, accentuating its feminine contours. The crown, set with a cabochon-cut ruby, adds a vibrant touch of color. The timepiece is powered by an in-house automatic movement, offering a 45-hour power reserve and precision timekeeping. The sapphire crystal caseback reveals the intricate mechanics, including a platinum rotor with hand-guilloché decoration.
This exclusive edition is paired with a red alligator leather strap and a white gold folding clasp set with 28 diamonds. Limited to just 28 numbered pieces, the Reine de Naples 9915 is a rare and exquisite gift for Valentine’s Day, blending timeless elegance with modern horological innovation.
