The white gold Breguet La Chinoise Ref 3330 is a masterpiece of handworked guilloche. Unique apertures for the day and date punctuate its dial, while the moon phase at 12 o'clock elevates it to art.

Once a hidden gem, it is now a beacon of the brand's resurgence. The pendulum of horology, which has long favoured the rugged allure of vintage sports models from Patek Philippe, Rolex, and Audemars Piguet, is now swinging back toward the elegance of dress watches.

Cartier has been the main beneficiary of this shift, but now, Breguet is also poised for its renaissance. The Daniel Roth-era models are becoming the blue chips of this shift.

As Vincent Brasesco, a watch specialist at Sotheby's New York, has noted, this period was a turning point for Breguet; a time when Roth, inspired by the brand's pocket watches, had transformed them for 20th-century wrists.

Presented here in excellent condition and as a rare full collectors set with open papers.
