The Breguet Chronograph reference 3237 has a quiet, old world elegance that makes it a particularly refined dress chronograph. Its 36 mm case is built in a layered construction, with the bezel and caseback extending slightly beyond the finely coined caseband. A polished, gently domed bezel contrasts with the straight lugs, while the pump style pushers keep the look classically balanced.
The dial is crafted from solid gold, engine turned on a rose lathe and finished in silver. It features a mix of guilloché patterns, with wave decoration on the subdials, a Clou de Paris centre and circular brushed outer tracks. The signature and serial number appear on small plaques at twelve and six o’clock, echoing traditional Breguet details, while the blued steel hands complete the composition.
The reference 3237 was produced in yellow gold, pink gold, white gold and platinum and they appear on the market only rarely and tend to achieve particularly strong results due to their limited production.
