I had six goals when I visited the Paris Breguet Boutique, and I was lucky to score all of them, thanks to the kind collaboration of the Boutique Team, my contact at Breguet, and Mr Emmanuel Breguet. 

One of them was to review the Classique 5177 Blue Enamel, which I recently put on line, the other was to see the Ref 3330 and its ancestor. 

Why the 3330? Simply because it is one of the most exquisite and romantic Breguet watch I know, and, in my opinion, an icon. 

The one I will show you here is in white gold. 

The case has elegant proportions, with a diameter of 35, 8 mm and a height of 6, 8 mm. Don't think it is too small, just try it, you will see. 


The hand guilloché dial, the golden day and date discs and the moon phase are a feast for the eyes. 


Retro? Yes. Outdated, absolutely not. This watch oozes refinement. The ribs on the side case complement this watch very well, I must say, even if I am not a fan of them, but with Breguet, it works.


Now, there is a question... Would you prefer the 3330, with its solid case back? Or the same watch but with a see through case back, reference 3337?

I would have loved to see it in platinum, just to feel the more important density of the case, which is the only difference, as long as I know, with the white gold version. 

BUT, I could manage to take some pictures of the 3330 / 3337 ancestor! 



The left window is interesting. Rather than having the day, you have something you usually on the balance cock, ( Avance - Retard  which is Fast - Slow  ) a needle you move on the right or the left, if your watch runs too slow or too fast. 

There is so much Breguet DNA in the Classique 3330 / 3337, which is one of my favorite watch from this brand. 

I hope I shared my passion and love for this watch in a convincing way. It  truly deserves it. 

Best,

Nicolas

About the Breguet Classique Ref. 5177

The Breguet Classique reference 5177 represents an automatic entry within the Classique collection, distinguished by its 38mm case proportions and rose gold construction. This reference utilizes automatic movement technology within the traditional Classique aesthetic framework.

The 38mm case is crafted from 18k rose gold and houses an automatic movement. The silver dial provides contrast against the warm gold case material. Sapphire crystal protects the dial surface, while the watch maintains 30 meters of water resistance. The bezel design remains fixed in position.

Reference 5177 appeals to collectors seeking automatic movement functionality within traditional dress watch proportions. The 38mm case size positions this reference for those preferring mid-sized case dimensions, while the rose gold construction and silver dial combination offers specific aesthetic preferences within the broader Classique automatic range.

I would prefer to see the movement but would be proud to own either one. I thought I had reached a decision on which moonphase watch I wanted but that movement on the 3337 is tempting. I noticed moon on the 3330/3337 appears to be a solid disc whereas the moon on the 7787 displays a facial expression. Does Breguet use different moon styles for the various models?

I like it a lot but I prefer the 7337 because the second hand makes the dial a but more animated for my taste. Thanks! Fx
