Breguet Classique Day Date Moonphase

Breguet makes the best dials in the biz. Yeah, we said it. Their signature engine-turned dials, individually numbered and hand-finished, are simply beautiful works of art. The Breguet Classique Day Date Moonphase isn’t merely the proud recipient of an excellent Breguet dial, however — it’s also a complicated masterwork, displaying the time, day, date, and moonphase, all within the confines of a 36mm case. Quite simply, it’s evidence that, if well executed, even a smaller dial can convey a multitude of information without becoming overcrowded. Housed in an 18K yellow gold, coin-edge case with a sapphire crystal, a sapphire cabochon, and a polished bezel, it features a silver clous de Paris and brushed silver dial with painted black ‘Roman’ indices, a blued-steel Breguet handset, a moonphase aperture at 12, and day and date wheels flanking the time display. Well-balanced and beautiful, it’s a perfect modern example of classically-inspired watchmaking done right. This piece comes fitted t
