Breguet calendar ref 3130 in white gold
The Breguet Classique Ref. 3130 in 18k white gold is a defining expression of the modern Breguet revival. Created from the visual vocabulary developed during the Daniel Roth era, it brings together the coin-edge caseband, straight lugs secured by screw bars, silvered engine-turned dial, black Roman numerals, and blued steel Breguet hands in a refined 36.3 mm format. The dial is a study in controlled asymmetry: the 45-hour power reserve appears at 10 oclock, the moon phase and age of the moon sit at 2, and the pointer date occupies the lower register at 6. This example bears the individual Breguet number 4258K, engraved on its solid caseback.
First introduced in the early 1980s, the Ref. 3130 drew direct inspiration from Breguet pocket watch No. 5 of 1794. Daniel Roth translated this historic source into a wristwatch without reducing its character to mere decoration. The result is a watch whose individual elements are immediately recognizable as Breguet: the fluted caseband, finely worked silvered dial, eccentric arrangement of indications, and slim blue pomme hands. The early design established a language that became central to the contemporary Classique collection.
The present dial belongs to the later Mk3 style, identifiable by its 45-hour power-reserve scale with a small triangular marker, an engraved moon face, secret signatures, and the Swiss Guilloche Main inscription at 6. Its varied guilloché patterns distinguish the central field, power-reserve sector, and lower date display while keeping the indications legible. Beneath the solid caseback, the Calibre 502.DR combines a compact automatic construction with traditional finishing and a discreet off-center gold rotor. The combination of white gold, the numbered caseback, and this mature dial execution gives this Ref. 3130 a particularly complete classical Breguet identity.
