Breguet Classique Power Reserve Moonphase 3130BA/11/986 18k YG

Founded by Abraham-Louis Breguet, one of horology’s most famed watchmakers, Breguet is a brand rooted in classical horological excellence. With such innovations as the tourbillon, the Breguet overcoil and their eponymous ‘Breguet’ hands and even numerals among their impressive list of accolades, Breguet are widely renowned as one of the most influential and important watchmakers in the industry. With a truly remarkable history, Breguet’s timepieces often hark back to the classical period of watchmaking through a traditional aesthetic, and this Classique Moon Phase ref. 3130, as its name suggests, is no different. Measuring a universally-appealing 36mm, its perfectly round 18kt yellow gold case features a polished domed bezel that swoops down to the midcase where it overhangs a coin-edge texture. Matching this level of exuberant detail, the Classique’s stunning silver dial also features a beautiful blend of textures with a hobnail engraving in its center, concentrically-brushed chapter rings and a wave pattern within its pointer-date subdial, a Clous de Paris texture within its power reserve indicator and another intricate wave pattern within its moon phase indicator. An elegantly styled timepiece, the Classique Moon Phase is undoubtedly Breguet at their finest and this example showcases the wealth of watchmaking knowledge that they have been able to accumulate over the centuries.
