Seabas132 shares an intimate look at their Breguet Classique Phase de Lune 7787 in rose gold, highlighting its enduring appeal as a daily companion. This post offers a valuable perspective on why this particular reference, with its blend of historical design cues and refined complications, continues to resonate with collectors. It underscores the timeless elegance that defines Breguet's Classique collection.

The Breguet Classique Moon Phases reference 7787 is a modern interpretation of Breguet's traditional aesthetic, featuring a prominent moon phase display and a small seconds sub-dial. This reference is characterized by its balanced dial layout and the brand's signature design elements, such as the fluted caseband and welded lugs. It represents Breguet's commitment to classical watchmaking, offering a refined complication within a contemporary case size. The watch is positioned as a dress watch, emphasizing legibility and traditional horological artistry. Its design is consistent with the Classique collection's focus on understated elegance and technical precision.
The 7787 is housed in an 18k rose gold case measuring 40 mm in diameter. It is powered by the automatic caliber 505SR, which provides a power reserve of 40 hours. The movement is visible through a sapphire crystal case back, allowing for appreciation of its finishing. The dial is silver, featuring Breguet numerals and hands, and is protected by a sapphire crystal. The watch offers a water resistance of 30 meters, suitable for everyday wear but not for swimming or diving. The fixed bezel is also crafted from 18k rose gold, complementing the case material.
This reference appeals to collectors who appreciate Breguet's historical design codes combined with a practical complication. Its moon phase display is a central feature, executed with clarity and precision. The 7787 fits within the Classique collection as a model that highlights a specific astronomical complication while maintaining the collection's overall aesthetic. Variants typically involve different case materials or dial finishes, but the core design and complication remain consistent across the reference.
It just looks so clean and elegant and stylish enjoy your watch in good health. Marc
Understated elegance. Wonderful.
when I made the jump into higher horology. Breguet history - blued Breguet hands, Breguet numerals, secret signature, moonphase, coin edge, rose gold, grand feu enamel dial, and power reserve. Such an underrated watch and brand.
It has the best of BREGUET and a tad modern touch ( to my eye ) and I love that.
Although I prefer it on White Gold or platinum, this 7787 obviously has all the characteristics of a desirable watch: An endless second hand, an enameled dial with its Breguet numbers, a 20mm bracelet and a folding buckle. What more could you ask for? Oh, Wait, I know: the return of the «Guilloché» Dial!
