Lot Essay

Launched in 1993 before Breguet’s acquisition by the Swatch Group, reference 3637 Classique is a magnificent and rare minute repeating wristwatch that is lustrous to behold in the flesh. The watch is classically proportioned in a 37mm rose gold case, and features running seconds and a twenty-four indicator at the subsidiary registers. Four styles of guilloche patterning such as Clou de Paris, Damier Croisé, Décor Flammé, and Vieux Paniers have been intricately handcrafted into the dial using a rose engine lathe. The array of guilloche patterns provides a beautiful contrast and charm to the front side of the watch.

The rear side of the watch is just as beautiful, featuring a gorgeous hand-finished movement visible through the sapphire caseback. The Breguet caliber features thick, anglage beveling across the bridges and jewel placements. The minute repeater has a warm, precise, chime that resonates throughout the entire timepiece. Reference 3637 presents as an exceptionally rare, chiming wristwatch bound to amplify any serious watch collection.
