On the dial, you can find lots of pleasures. The relief-painted Arabic numerals of 6 and 12 are full of artistic feeling.

Its finely fluted case hands do fit perfectly with the artistic sense. At the top left corner of the dial, the “Breguet No 2662” signature with the beautiful letter type also draws my great attention. The off-centered chapter ring at 6 o’clock position is also the great embellishment.
Featuring with a mechanical self-winding movement called Calibre 591C which consists of 25 jewels and, the Breguet Queen of Naples 8967ST has a power reserve of 38 hours, a frequency of 4Hz and water resistance of 30 meters. The gold oscillating weighing 22 carat is hand-engraved on the rose engine. And they are all covered by a gorgeous sapphire-crystal case-back.
The white dial item is complemented with a grey alligator leather strap with steel folding clasp, while the blue one is paired with a blue strap. They are all exuding the irresistible charm from the aesthetic exterior and functional performances.
