The Watch
This 3237PT represents a remarkably well-preserved execution of the platinum reference, a seldom-seen configuration. Right from the word go, this Breguet undoubtedly embodies Abraham-Louis Breguet's idea with its mid-size case offering pure decadence and sophistication. Straight, soft lugs protrude from the centre of the case's coin edge middle body with immense visual delicacy. This quintessential body of the case contributes vast amounts of character, the start of a reoccurring theme throughout this piece. A smooth, domed bezel gradually draws the eye to the dial of this watch that is simply jam-packed with coherent, captivating details and finishes.
It starts with a 60-minute track and narrow Roman numerals sitting on a brushed silver chapter ring. When combined with the centralised guilloché Clous de Paris pattern, it creates an almost matching colour Tuxedo dial like appearance. This concept is something that is repeated throughout the two sub-registers with an alternative, vertically configured guilloché surrounded by brushed contours. As if the dial couldn't be any more alluring, the 3237PT is fitted with thermally blued Breguet hands and a long needle style chronograph hand. Completing the dial is the classically signed Breguet signature at 12 o'clock balanced with the watch's individual number 'No XXXX' at six o'clock. Both additions are framed to match the curvature of the dial with a brushed finish inherited from the chapter ring. There are zero points of contention throughout this dial design, something which is a testament to the work of Chaumet and Roth, who undoubtedly has conscientiously translated Abraham-Louis Breguet's original vision.
The result is a thoroughly intelligent piece of watch design and a watch that is hugely whimsical in its coherence.
