Notes The presented Breguet is one of the rare first-series perpetual calendar wristwatches developed by master watchmaker Daniel Roth (who joined Breguet in 1973) during the Chaumet ownership era under director François Bodet. Its design originated from a pocket watch Roth created as a student at Le Sentier, marking one of Breguet’s earliest post-quartz crisis wristwatch perpetual calendars. Production of the 3050 was extremely limited—only a handful per year—due to its mechanical complexity. As the rare “first series” preceding the ref. 3310, this early example is highly sought after by neo-vintage Breguet collectors. Encased in a 36 mm 18K yellow gold case with its signature coin-edge band, this timepiece embodies the pinnacle of understated elegance and horological innovation from the Daniel Roth era. Consigned by the original Hong Kong collector who purchased it new on 26 March 1991, the watch has been meticulously preserved for over 30 years in remarkably original condition. Accompanied by its original sales memo from Carlson Watch Co., Ltd. (No. BA 3050, HK$215,000), this is a rare opportunity to acquire a true milestone of modern Breguet watchmaking.
