This clock, the Duc D'Orléans Breguet Sympathique, was a complete mess, inside and out before it was painstakingly refurbished. Its value doesn't seem to have been affected as its auction price suggests. But more importantly, it now has the appearance that the maker had intended when he created the piece. I'm sure that Abraham-Louis Breguet was sad to see his creation in such a dilapidated state and smiled upon seeing its wonderful restoration.But is there any point in destroying or reducing its potential value? .
