Breguet No. 2226 pocket watch heads to auction at Webb’s
Breguet No. 2226, a gold hunter pocket watch bought in Paris in 1853 by a buyer recorded as “Capitaine Denny,” has resurfaced and is now set for auction at Webb’s in Auckland. The watch’s path from the Quai de l’Horloge to New Zealand remains unknown.
Rare, documented vintage Breguet pocket watches can attract strong collector interest, especially when their provenance includes an unusual historical trail. An auction appearance may help establish market value for a highly original horological survivor.
