Record

Breguet made this triple-calendar chronograph in 1972 and sold it in December 1973 to “M. Belmondo”; Jean-Paul Belmondo was photographed wearing it at the 1974 Cannes Film Festival. It sold at Christie’s in 2016 for CHF 75,000, later entered the OAK Collection and was exhibited with that collection at London’s Design Museum in 2022. The object is individually identifiable rather than merely an example of its model, which is important for Arcarel’s object-level record. The cited Christie's source supplies the key provenance, event or institutional facts used here. No unnamed buyer or owner has been inferred, and fields not established by the source are left blank. Its significance comes from the combination of the physical watch and the documented people, events, institutions or market history attached to this specific specimen.
