Breguet 3310 - This reference needs more love
I'm more
I'm more a lurker here than a poster but just wanted to share:
Recently acquired my first QP watch - an early ref 3310BA. I was originally researching 3050s when I learnt more about this reference and I just fell in love with the quirky and beautiful dial.
Some fun facts about the 3310 that I uncovered:
1. It was one of Daniel Roth's last hurrahs (along with the 3355 Tourbillon) before he left Breguet. While the 3050 was largely inspired by Breguet's design, the 3310 to me represents Roth's evolution of the QP design on top of it.
2. It was a very unpopular piece when it launched, so people have theorized that there aren't many examples produced, with some saying < 50 produced overall. Would love to learn more if folks have more information.
3. The dials on the 3310 are more intricate than other complicated breguets from the same era. I count at least 5 different guilloche techniques - clous de paris, saute pique, decor flamme, satin finishing and basketweave. Most other models from this era are usually limited to ~3.

Welcome, from a fellow long-time lurker!
I'm also a huge fan of Daniels-era Breguet, and your photography here is stupendous. I think these watches represent some of the greatest unsung bargains on the secondary market, and I never seem to tire of their charms. Thanks so much for sharing this te...
I like these...but isn't there a similar, previous reference?
...either way, criminally under-valued...
the 3050 was the earlier reference
but it was based on breguet's pocketwatch design and didn't have a power reserve indicator.
I do too, but....
The 3310 is more quirky, charming and looks more interesting on the wrist
There’s a few of them
unsure of how many in total, but i saw at least 4 more in research
