Breguet Classique Reference 3130

Considered one of the most respected names in the watch industry, few have contributed as many mechanical achievements and design elements to the world of watchmaking as the House of Breguet. Among the firm’s most iconic dress watches is the Classique, which combines modern elegance with original designs, taking direct inspiration from Abraham-Louis Breguet’s pocket watch No. 5, produced in 1794.

The watch features a silver guilloché dial, beautifully recreating the intricate finery found in Breguet’s original creation. The time displays on elegant Roman numerals with signature flamed-blued Breguet hands. A calendar resides at the 6 o’clock position and phases of the moon between the 1 and 2 o’clock positions. Adding further functionality, an impressive 50-hour power reserve indicator lies between the 10 and 11 o’clock positions. This timepiece is encased in luxurious 18K yellow gold and features the recognizable Beguet coin edge center. A staggering 37-jewel automatic movement powers the watch, protected by a sapphire crystal, ensuring clarity and durability.

One of the standout features of this model is its heavy, solid-link 18K gold bracelet, a feature rare to find accompanying this model. The case measures 36mm, making it perfect for those who appreciate classic proportions.

This watch comes complete in its original Burl elm Breguet box, with two extra links and the original setting pusher.

This watch carries an 18-month warranty.
