Breguet 1160 Marie Antoinette remains the 5th or 6th most complicated pocket watch in the world, even though it is based on the original Breguet 160 pocket watch, that held the position as the most complicated watch ever made for about 100 years after being completed in 1827.At 63mm wide in 18k gold, the Breguet 1160 Marie Antoinette attempted to replicate the original 160 in every way possible from the complications to the crystal made of natural rock crystal. In addition to the time and featuring automatic winding, the Breguet 1160 Marie Antoinette pocket watch has a perpetual calendar, chronograph, minute repeater, thermometer, power reserve indicator and more special technical features which even today remain impressive; all with a skeletonized, dial-free design.
