Model: Classique “Grande Complication” Reference: 3477 Case Material: Platinum Bracelet Material: Leather Strap Year: 1990's Movement: Automatic Caliber: 502QP Case N°: 2931K Movement N°: 10453 Dimensions: 36 mm Signed: Dial, Movement and Case Accessories: Box and Papers Within the esteemed Classique Grande Complication collection, the lot here offered stands as a testament to horological excellence, featuring some of the most significant complications in the annals of watchmaking. Beyond the perpetual calendar and power reserve indicator, it boasts an extraordinary addition: the perpetual equation of time. Abraham-Louis Breguet, a luminary in the world of horology, was not only fascinated by the subject of the equation of time, but devoted his craftsmanship to perfecting it between 1790 and 1830. Over two centuries later, the present watch advances this tradition, incorporating a perpetual calendar complication with an automatic movement patented in 1991. The watch, a variant of the rare reference 3477, is encased in platinum, elevating its exclusivity compared to the more common yellow-gold iteration. The case design reflects the unmistakable Breguet style, featuring a coin-edge band, subtle bezel, and straight lugs. The dial, adorned with engine-turned decoration interspersed with plain surfaces, not only houses a power reserve indicator and perpetual calendar but also intricately displays the rare equation of time complication. Watches equipped with an equation of time complication go beyond ordinary timekeeping, illustrating the nuanced difference between mean solar time and true solar time, a reflection of Earth’s irregular orbit around the sun. The reference 3477, with its platinum construction and complex features, stands as a rare and exceptional piece in the realm of wristwatches. For collectors seeking the extraordinary, this Breguet Classique Grande Complication is a captivating and valuable addition, infusing sophistication and rarity into any discerning collection.
