Breguet

Ref. 3577BA

An attractive and barely worn yellow gold tourbillon chronograph wristwatch with certificate of origin and presentation box

- On June 26, 1801, Abraham-Louis Breguet changed watchmaking forever with his patent for the tourbillon—a brilliant solution to counter the effects of gravity on a watch’s accuracy. Though the first examples appeared a few years later, the tourbillon remains, more than two centuries on, one of the most admired achievements in horology.

- The reference 3577 “Classique Tourbillon Chronograph” beautifully celebrates Breguet’s legacy. The tourbillon sits proudly at 12 o’clock, surrounded by a rich blend of textures across the silver dial—clous de Paris, basketweave, waves, and brushed finishes—all paired with the brand’s iconic blued hands. It’s classic Breguet through and through.

- Beyond the tourbillon, this watch also features a chronograph with 30-minute and 12-hour counters—adding a useful layer of function without disrupting its elegance. Offered with its accessories, the present watch is preserved in barely worn and unpolished condition, with deep hallmarks and crisp finishes throughout - an incredible feat from a watch from 2002.

Breguet

Swiss | 1775

Established 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.
