Breguet Classique Triple Calendar Moonphase Ref. 3040BA - Silver 'Guilloché' Dial Unpolished
Parisian manufacturer Breguet, named after its founder, Abraham-Louis Breguet, was founded in 1775 and is one of the most stored and historically significant manufacturers in the world of horology. With a number of firsts, including *ahem* what many consider to be the first known wristwatch, Breguet is primarily known today for its stunning silver 'guilloche' dials, innovations in complications, and outstanding build quality.
The piece that we have here belongs to the 'Classique' family and hails from a very desirable era for the brand: the mid-1980s. It features a very Breguet coin-edge case design crafted out of yellow gold coming in at 35mm in diameter. The case is fitted with a sapphire crystal, a sapphire cabochon winding crown, and a snapback case. As with virtually all Breguet dress watches, the dial within is generally the highlight, and this piece is no exception. Silver in color, it features a slew of different styles of guilloché finishing, with black printed 'Roman' indices, day and month apertures on the top half, a 'pointer date' function on the outside edge of the center section of the dial, and a moonphase aperture on the bottom half. It is powered by an automatic-winding movement with a 3/4 rotor and and comes fitted with a black leather strap with its original yellow gold buckle.
So here is a piece that delivers on condition, timelessness, and pedigree. How can you go wrong?
