A rare and elegant "Classique Chronograph Tourbillon" Ref. 3567 wristwatch, is a testament to the brand’s mastery of classical watchmaking and high complication. Housed in a platinum case with coin-edge fluting and welded lugs—hallmarks of Breguet's signature aesthetic—the watch gracefully fuses technical sophistication with timeless elegance.
Powered by the highly complex manual-winding Calibre 554 T, finished to the highest standards and visible through its exhibition case back, the Ref. 3567 features a tourbillon function—a complication invented and refined by Abraham-Louis Breguet in 1795. In addition, the dial showcases a two-button chronograph.
The silvered engine-turned guilloché dial, with blued Breguet hands and Roman numerals, reflects the house’s dedication to artisanal finishing and visual harmony. Each sub-dial is thoughtfully laid out, maintaining symmetry and legibility without sacrificing the intricate information displayed.
Produced in extremely limited numbers, reference 3567 exemplifies Breguet's commitment to preserving the legacy of Abraham-Louis Breguet while pushing the boundaries of modern horology. This reference is seldom seen at auction, making it a rare opportunity for collectors seeking a historically rooted, mechanically exceptional timepiece. The current example is accompanied by its presentation box and Limited Edition Certificate.
