Agree with your advice. I saw this in the flesh recently.
Indeed, I was captivated by the purple blue as I really love this color and have never seen such a hue of blue on a nice watch before (excluding "fun" watches).
I also checked out the GO seventies before for a blue dial watch but didn't like the blue hue on the GO (it was like silverish/light purplish blue and does not appear to be what it seems on photos). I like a darker and brighter purplish blue and this Breguet has that.
However, I noted your advice. I need to be sure I will not be bored with such a blue hue later on.
Thanks for all your inputs Nicolas

Breguet Type XX Aeronavale Blue dial
Hi all I got to see a Breguet type XX with blue dial recently. The blue dial looks beautiful and I am falling in love with it! I think it is a ref 3807 and it seems to be the only Type XX with an open case back. From some research, it seems to be limited ...
It is not the only one with a sapphire case back...
The platinum comes with a sapphire case back, too. The SS version is a limited edition of 1000 pièces, while the platinum came in a LE of 90 pièces. Here are some pictures: The big difference is that the stainless steel doesn't have a date, while the S...
THANK YOU Nicolas!
Nice pics! Man, I like the Salmon dial Plat version too (I know you have that!). They both look great to me. I have never seen the salmon dial Plat version before but the blue dial SS.... the color is to die for! Thanks once again Nicolas! cheers robin
Take care of one thing, though...
Before deciding anything on this Watch, try to see it in the flesh: The dial is more purple blue than blue. Be sure that you like what you are seeing, I mean, the color, with these purple accents. And that you won't get rid of it, after a while... Best, N...

The PT type XX w/ Salmon dial & date window
is actually Transatlantique w/ 3827 as reference number or 3820 as the normal production pieces. The Aeronavale, Ref: 3800 refers to Type XX without date. (Earlier model) Another difference is that the Aeronavale are typically made w/ polished bracelet wh...
Thanks Jester!
I appreciate all the details and differences between the various Breguet Type xx you highlighted in your post. That clears up alot of confusion I had when I was searching for more info. Yes, I too find the SS 3807 blue VERY VERY attractive! Not easy to fi...
Sure about the LE of 1500 pieces, Jester? I have always been told ( and read ) 1000.
And you are right, the case back won't help us to know if it is 1000 or 1500 pièces! Best, Nicolas
I heard and read both versions...
Maybe it's the average of 1250.... the data and analytics hat in me speaking.... (my career is in advertising and media data/analytics) cheers robin

Robin, I have a XX solid back. Rose gold case. The blue is different than the white metals. As compare to VC OS totally different blue. This was a boutique edition. Best, Joe ...
