Breguet acquires 1957 Type XX Chronograph for museum

The Breguet Museum and its President, Marc A. Hayek, recently acquired a splendid Type XX dating back to 1957, originally gifted to the winner of the 1959 Monte Carlo car rally by Esso, the oil company. Sold at an auction organised by Pescheteau-Badin in Paris, this model also features a 38 mm case fitted with a screw-in back, as well as a graduated rotating bezel, and will be displayed during London’s City Concours event on the June 7-8, as part of the Breguet exhibition.
