Description

Breguet makes the best dials in the biz. Yeah, we said it. Their signature engine-turned dials, individually numbered and hand-finished are simply beautiful works of art. Executed here in their core line, the Classique, this particular watch offers something a bit more special than your "run-of-the-mill" Breguet. In fact, it offers much more. This is no simple dress watch, or even a “simple” perpetual calendar watch — rather, it’s a QP with an included equation-of-time function, a complication that shows the deviation from true solar time. Housed in a 36mm yellow gold case with a, this Reference 3477 features a smooth bezel, a coin-edge midcase, and a sapphire crystal, beneath which is a stunning silver guilloché dial with printed black ‘Roman’ numerals, a day window beneath 12 o’clock, an equation-of-time indicator at 1:30, a central month indicator, a power reserve indicator at 10:30, a leap year indicator at 8 o’clock, and a date indicator above 6 o’clock. A set of ‘Breguet’ hands rounds out the pocket watch-like, classical appearance. Incredibly, all this information has ample room to “breathe” on the dial, with a design that doesn’t feel or appear crowded in the least. Flip the watch over, meanwhile, and you’re greeted with the scene of the superbly decorated, automatic Breguet Calibre 502 movement with skeletonized winding mass via a sapphire caseback. A brown leather strap with tone-on-tone stitching and a yellow gold deployant clasp finishes the packages. Wildly complicated, stunningly finished, and completely understated, this Breguet Ref. 3477 is a timepiece for those in the know.
