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 Date ref. 3320, as its name suggests, is no different. Measuring a svelte 32.5mm, 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 Date’s stunning silver dial also features a beautiful blend of textures with a concentrically-brushed chapter ring, a wave pattern within its central portion and a clous de Paris hobnail texture around its periphery, where it also houses a date aperture. An elegantly styled timepiece, the Classique is undoubtedly Breguet at their finest.

One of the famed French watchmaker's most refined and elegant timepieces, the Classique is vividly Breguet in just about every way possible, and it is hard not to see the appeal of its luxuriously understated aesthetic.
