Easy. Either the ref. 3130 or 3330

Neither is especially complicated, but they are essentially wristwatch versions of what are quintessential Breguet
pocketwatches. Both are discreet yet are obviously Breguet, while the moonphase adds a romantic touch.
 
I especially like the ref. 3330. That in yellow gold on a black strap is perfect.

which would it be? i am a dress watch collector mostly. i have a few jlc reversos and gp vintage 1945s. the art deco thing sort of caught my fancy but the novelty is starting to wear off. however, i believe breguet watches to be the most beautiful of all ...

chronoswiss lunar triple date > breguet moonphase

 
 By: ands : July 10th, 2007-10:08
hmm... i love moonphases but i actually think chronoswiss made a better designed moonphase than breguet while ironically copying the breguet look. it may not be finished as well but the design is better IMHO. if you change a few things from the lunar trip... 

The Chronoswiss is no doubt classic

My choice

 
 By: oldmoney : July 16th, 2007-16:18
I really would like to have a minute repeater like the 5447 or the 3637 but, they were not within my budget. After a long deliberation, I settled on the HORA MUNDI. I like the clean lines and the world time complication. Then, I had to find a close match ...

A beautiful dress watch. Now if they had only seen fit to issue a variant sans the date......  

The unfortunate date window

1775, LE of 225 pieces for the 225th Breguet birthday. Platinum case with enamel dial. I had one, and I regret it!...  

That is rather nice!

Do you have a shot showing the case sides? And did you regret parting with it?

Does the 5177 exist?
