Dealer description — Craft & Tailored

When it comes to the names that have shaped the landscape of watchmaking as we know it today, there are few that have been more influential than Abraham-Louis Breguet. Credited with numerous horological innovations ranging from multiple different automatic winding systems to even the tourbillon itself, Breguet left an indelible mark on the watchmaking industry, and his eponymous brand is one of the oldest still in operation today, with a rich history that dates all the way back to 1775. While the cushion-shaped case of this Breguet ref. 3560 is truly uncommon for the brand, this model retains all of the classic Breguet characteristics we know and love from the brand, resulting in an exciting, attractive, and truly rare offering. The cushion case offers soft, more organic dimensions, which are then contrasted by the intricately executed hand-engraved guilloche dial and coin-edge motif on the case sides. All these details are perfectly proportioned in a thin case with the help of the ultra-thin automatic movement SPECS Stock # BGTCC3560BA Brand Breguet Style Classique Cushion Model 3560BA Serial Nº 3234 Size Men's / Unisex Material 18K Yellow Gold Dial Silver "Guilloche" Millimeters 31 X 31 Strap 2pc Handmade Leather Strap CASE & BRACELET The 18K yellow gold cushion-shaped case is beautifully preserved and features lugs that increase the overall visual size of the watch.
