Breguet
Ref. 3237
"Tuxedo"
A superb and rare white gold chronograph wristwatch with onyx hour and minute track, certificate of origin and presentation box
Full-Cataloguing
The outer track is printed in silver over an onyx section. A small detail that makes all the difference and fully impacts the overall attractivity and looks of the watch. Adding panache to elegance and flamboyance to classism.
Nicknamed “Tuxedo” due to the color combination, the present chronograph is not just a pretty face but houses one of the most respected manual wind chronograph movements: the Lemania Cal. 2310 – a movement that was used by Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin or Roger Dubuis to name a few.
In absolutely superlative condition, the present reference Breguet 3237 chronograph is one of an extremely small number to have come to the market with an onyx dial.
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.
