In 1810, Abraham-Louis Breguet crafted a groundbreaking piece for Caroline Bonaparte, the Queen of Naples. This...delicate oval-shaped timekeeper has come to be regarded as the very first wristwatch ever created. Now, more than two centuries later, that legacy lives on in the Reine de Naples collection, where history and elegance intertwine.
Reference 8918BB/58/964 carries that lineage forward with an 18K white gold oval case with modern dimensions, Breguet’s fluted case band, and a bezel set with brilliant diamonds. Its mother-of-pearl dial shimmers with natural depth, framed by an off-centered numeral ring and the brand’s signature blued steel hands. Beneath the artistry beats the automatic Caliber 537/3, offering modern reliability with a 45-hour power reserve, while a refined alligator strap completes the watch's timeless presence.
Breguet’s creation for the Queen of Naples marked the beginning of the wristwatch era, and the 8918 carries that spirit into the present with a design rooted in history yet perfectly at home on the wrist. It serves as a good reminder that being first never fades; it simply continues to evolve.

To qualify as a Bucherer Certified Pre-Owned, a watch must meet superior standards of quality. Our 30+ master watchmakers perform a comprehensive 30-point inspection on every single timepiece that comes through our doors to verify that every watch part is authentic and functions within original factory specifications.
Fully Serviced
Every Bucherer Certified Authentic Pre-Owned watch is guaranteed to function within its original factory specifications. Each watch goes through a careful restoration process conducted by one of our master watchmakers. Our restoration process begins with a full movement service and overhaul if necessary to inspect each and every piece of the movement. Next, each piece is cleaned, lubricated and put back together. Any worn or broken parts are replaced using only original manufacture parts to maintain authenticity. The restoration process includes expert cleaning and polishing, testing of water pressure and magnetization and the replacement of straps.
2-Year Warranty
We have been selling and maintaining fine watches for over 115 years and are therefore very confident in our restoration process. To help provide extended care to you and your timepiece, a two-year warranty is included with every Bucherer Certified Pre-Owned watch to cover any internal movement defects.
