Rare chainmail bracelet made by Roland-Gilbert Gaschen, with hallmark GRG. Rare white gold model, one of only a handful identified. The present white gold Breguet Classique in 30mm perfectly embodies the maison’s enduring philosophy of refined, understated watchmaking. Particularly noteworthy is the original white gold chainmail bracelet manufactured by Roland-Gilbert Gaschen (GRG), one of the most accomplished bracelet makers of the 1970s and 1980s. Working alongside celebrated contemporaries such as Jean-Pierre Ecoffey and Gay Frères, Gaschen was responsible for some of the era’s most technically ambitious bracelet designs. The combination of Breguet’s refined classical watchmaking with the work of one of Switzerland’s great bracelet artisans makes the present example a particularly compelling piece for collectors who appreciate both horological heritage and exceptional bracelet engineering.
