The Heritage

The Breguet Classique 5717BR/US/9ZU is a dual time zone GMT wristwatch housed in a 43mm rose gold case, featuring the 18mm lug width typical of Classique models. The watch is powered by the Breguet Caliber 77F0, an automatic movement with approximately 45 hours power reserve, equipped with hours, minutes, seconds, independent 24-hour hand, day/night indication, and date display. The dial showcases 18th-century styling with guilloché grain pattern, champlevé Roman numerals, and blued pomme hands, while the integrated rose gold bracelet with articulated links provides sculptural presence on the wrist.

FAQ

What is the lug width of the Breguet Classique 5717BR/US/9ZU?

The Breguet Classique 5717BR/US/9ZU is fitted with an 18mm lug width. This is the standard size for this reference and should be measured at the inner opening between the case lugs using a millimeter caliper, not on the outer edge. All compatible 18mm straps are available at milanostraps.it.

What is the best strap for the Breguet Classique 5717BR/US/9ZU?

For a rose gold Classique 5717BR/US/9ZU, Mississippi alligator leather in polished burgundy finish or midnight blue box-calf represent the most coherent choices with the watch's aesthetic DNA. Alligator in particular creates a visual dialogue with the dial's guilloché, establishing a compelling texture continuity. Casati Milano creates bespoke straps tailored to this model.

How do you change the strap on the Breguet Classique 5717BR/US/9ZU?

The 5717BR/US/9ZU strap is replaced using a fine-tipped spring bar tool, taking care not to scratch the rose gold case lugs. It is recommended to place the watch on a soft cloth and work carefully with the spring bar. When in doubt, it is preferable to entrust the task to a watchmaker or Casati Milano's bespoke service, which includes strap replacement.

Are there aftermarket straps compatible with the Breguet Classique 5717BR/US/9ZU?

Yes. Any strap with 18mm lug width and standard spring bar is technically compatible with the Breguet Classique 5717BR/US/9ZU. Milanostraps.it offers a selection of 18mm straps in leather, alligator and other materials, available both for direct online purchase and made-to-order through the Casati Milano atelier with personalized guidance.

How long does a leather strap last on a Breguet Classique 5717BR/US/9ZU?

A quality leather strap—alligator or box-calf—on a regularly worn watch has an average lifespan of 18-36 months, varying based on exposure to perspiration, water and heat. Casati Milano artisanal straps are covered by an 18-month warranty against manufacturing defects. Periodic maintenance with a nourishing cream specifically formulated for fine leathers significantly extends strap life and promotes patina development.
