The elusive Breguet reference 3938 encompasses the oldest continuously running watch company’s know-how on both aesthetical and mechanical aspects. The lot here offered has an impressive diamond setting which was wonderfully executed on the bezel, echoing the baguette-filled lugs on both their top section and profile as well as the crown. The traditional hand-guilloché dial with polished chapter ring with painted Roman numerals is symmetrically laid out with dedicated subdials for the constant seconds and a 24-hour display. Finally, and importantly, the tastefully decorated minute repeating caliber 567 displays the pocket watch construction Breguet is highly praised for. The sound coming out from the white-gold case is incredibly pleasant, a pure joy for the hears. For its unmistakable design and style, Breguet was able to carve out a privileged position in perpetuity in the hearts, wrists and pockets of timepiece lovers and specimens like the present watch are definitely appealing for passionate and collectors.
