A name that resonates through the very foundations of haute horology, Breguet remains a cornerstone of watchmaking excellence. Founded by the legendary Abraham-Louis Breguet, the maison has gifted the world with some of the most transformative innovations in horological history—from the tourbillon and the Breguet overcoil to the elegant simplicity of its signature hands and numerals. Few manufacturers have left such an indelible mark on both the art and science of timekeeping. Embodying this legacy in truly spectacular fashion, the Classique Moon Phase reference 3137 is a poetic tribute to the golden age of watchmaking. Encased in a perfectly proportioned 36mm case in 18k pink gold, its form is pure Breguet—defined by a polished domed bezel that flows seamlessly into the maison’s iconic coin-edge flanks, a flourish of artisanal detail that speaks to centuries of craft refinement. The silver dial is a canvas of breathtaking complexity, where a symphony of textures converge. At its center lies a delicately rendered hobnail guilloché, encircled by concentrically brushed chapter rings and a pointer-date subdial featuring an undulating wave motif. Above, the power reserve indicator is executed with crisp Clous de Paris engraving, while the moon phase aperture, nestled within a crescent-shaped display, shimmers with yet another finely guilloché’d wave pattern—each texture playing its role in an orchestrated celebration of visual harmony. Mechanically sophisticated, aesthetically immaculate, the reference 3137 is a masterclass in classical design and technical artistry. It is the purest expression of Breguet’s enduring philosophy: a timepiece that not only honors the traditions of the past but continues to enchant modern connoisseurs with its depth, detail, and timeless beauty.
