Breguet

A rare and elegant "Classique Tourbillon" Ref. 3650 wristwatch with power reserve and retrograde 24-hour indication by Breguet is a testament to the brand’s mastery of classical watchmaking and high complication. 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, 24-jeweled, manual-winding Calibre 560 (movement number 573), and finished to the highest standards of hand engraving, the movement is visible through the exhibition case back. The Ref. 3650 features a tourbillon function—a complication invented and refined by Abraham-Louis Breguet in 1795.

In addition, the dial showcases an innovative retrograde 24-hour indication and power reserve. The silvered, engine-turned guilloché dial, with blued Breguet hands and Roman numerals, reflects the house’s dedication to artisanal finishing and visual harmony. The dial is thoughtfully laid out, maintaining legibility without sacrificing the intricate information displayed.

Produced in extremely limited numbers, Reference 3650 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.
