| Breguet Classique Ref.3140 — The Quiet Dawn of Revival. 1970s / 18K White Gold / Cal.839 Manual Wind In the 1970s, Breguet quietly began to breathe again. This Ref.3140 was born during the Chaumet era — a period of rebirth when the brand was rediscovering its own voice. It carries the DNA of the earliest Classique models, combining French elegance with timeless restraint. The 31mm case, crafted in 18K white gold, takes on a soft cushion shape. Its surface bears the gentle texture of time rather than a mirror finish, revealing a warmth that only true vintage gold can possess. At its heart lies a silver guilloché dial — intricate, rhythmic, alive. The pattern radiates outward like a quiet piece of music, each engraved line pulsing with the cadence of a bygone age. Roman numerals, blued Breguet hands, and a perfectly balanced small seconds — every detail echoes the design codes of the 18th century, yet there’s a subtle whisper of 1970s modernity that makes it unmistakably of its time. Inside beats the ultra-thin Caliber 839, a hand-wound movement whose delicacy defines the refined proportions of the case. This era of Breguet is now being rediscovered and deeply appreciated by collectors. Pieces from the Chaumet revival period were produced in extremely limited numbers, and those with stone dials such as onyx or tiger’s eye now command extraordinary respect. This particular piece — in white gold with a guilloché dial — belongs to that rarefied group, an expression of quiet intellect and discreet sophistication. It represents the moment when Breguet once again came to mean “Classique.” There’s no excess, no flamboyance — only honesty in craftsmanship and purity in form. Winding the crown reveals a soft resistance, a tactile reminder of the brand’s own awakening heartbeat during its rebirth. This watch tells the story of revival — a small light that began to glow in the stillness of the 1970s, a symbol of endurance and rebirth. Decades later, that same light continues to shine, quietly illuminating the timeless beauty of Breguet. |
