Breguet Classique 3500 ‘Ultra Thin’ 18k Yellow Gold with Box circa 1980’s

This Breguet Classique ref. 3500 is a beautifully preserved example of the brand’s purest and most traditional design language. With its 18k yellow gold coin-edge case, hand-guilloché dial and refined proportions, it captures everything that defines Breguet as one of the most historically important names in watchmaking.

This particular example comes from its first and only owner: a Parisian art collector who purchased the watch new in Paris in the 1980s and wore it only a handful of times. Finding a vintage Breguet Classique in such condition is exceptionally rare. The unpolished case retains its crisp edges, flawless chamfers and perfect coin-edge detailing, giving it a near-new appearance.

The white guilloché dial features Breguet’s signature craftsmanship: engine-turned texture, circular brushed hour and minute track, and elegant black painted Roman numerals. Inside beats the Jaeger-LeCoultre calibre 839, a slim and beautifully finished hand-wound movement chosen by Breguet for its reliability and finesse. At 33 mm, the watch offers classic dress-watch proportions with unmistakable Breguet elegance.

• With original box and outer box
