Breguet
Ref. 3310
A superb and early yellow gold perpetual calendar wristwatch with power reserve and moonphase indications
Full-Cataloguing
- Perpetual calendar with power reserve indicator and moonphase
- Made under the Daniel Roth era at Breguet
- The beautiful silver guilloché dial is taking on an ivory hue
Reference 3310 was launched in 1986 at a time when Daniel Roth was still at the helm of Breguet. It represented the watchmaker’s second foray into the perpetual calendar complication for the brand, this time presented in a less classical layout.
Visually, the watch features all of the brand’s signature elements: a coin-edge case, elongated lugs, Breguet hands, and of course a beautifully guilloché dial with different patterns.
The upper section of the dial features a retrograde power reserve indicator and a moon-phase display, while the calendar functions take center stage on the lower half of the dial, with the month subdial positioned prominently in the center.
Breguet
Swiss | 1775Established in 1775 by Abraham Louis Breguet, widely considered the greatest watchmaker of all time, the storied brand continues to thrive in the modern era, creating exceptional high-end watches as the Swatch Group's premier prestige brand. Some of the most important and lasting inventions in watchmaking are attributed to Abraham Louis Breguet, including the tourbillon, shock resistance and the use of hammers and gongs employed in nearly all minute repeating watches made since.
Eighteenth and nineteenth century Breguet pocketwatches are especially sought-after by collectors, and many of them were made for the elite of European society, including Napoléon and Marie Antoinette. Key wristwatches from the twentieth century include oversized dress watches, two-register chronographs, triple calendars and Type XX aviator's chronographs made for the French military and civilians.
