Breguet 2102 Tonneau - 18K Yellow Gold Silver Guilloche Dial

Details
The Art Of The Tonneau Case
Breguet is a name synonymous with traditional round cases and classical watchmaking. This piece, reference 2102, proves the maison's design codes can thrive beyond that convention. It translates the signature Breguet elements, from the hand-engraved guilloche dial to the classic Roman numerals, into a sophisticated and curved tonneau-shaped case. It is a piece that respects its origins while offering a more distinct and unconventional profile on the wrist.
Engine Turning As A Signature
The dial is the centerpiece of any Breguet, and this example is no exception. The intricate, hand-engraved guilloche pattern is a technique Abraham-Louis Breguet himself popularized back in 1786. It was originally used to reduce glare and improve legibility, but it quickly became a signature of the house's artistry. The execution here is sharp and precise, creating a texture that interacts with light in a way that printed dials simply cannot. It is a testament to an art form that very few watchmakers still practice with this level of commitment.
Honest Wear, Perfect Dial
This is a tasteful piece in good condition. The 18K yellow gold case shows signs of wear but appears to remain unpolished, preserving its original lines. The hand-finished silver-toned guilloche dial is perfect, as is the crystal. The watch is fitted to a leather strap with its original Breguet buckle. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
For The Discerning Collector
This watch works for the person who appreciates the highest level of classic watchmaking but wants something other than a simple round dress watch. The tonneau shape has a distinct personality, offering a bit more presence than its dimensions might suggest. It is a choice that signals a deeper understanding of horology, celebrating one of Breguet's more artistic and less common designs from the 2000s.

What Our Clients Say About Us

I knew I was gonna like Danny, based on his name, but nothing could’ve prepared me for how great of an experience this was. He had the most beautiful 70s Seamaster Cosmic on his website and I was set to be married 2 days later - I arranged to buy it but before leaving we both realized it needed to be serviced. I panicked, because I was literally buying this for my wedding, and Danny being the legend he is, loaned me a nearly identical Seamaster to make sure I could get through the event Never have I had someone go so above and beyond for me, especially while purchasing one of the lesser priced items in their inventory. He serviced my watch and exchanged it with me after the wedding on a super fast turnaround timeline. I would sincerely recommend you visit this guy, you will not be disappointed Edit: adding a pic of the loaner (two tone) and the owner (crosshair)

Great service and shop. Danny and his team were incredibly accommodating, professional, and kind. Great selection of vintage watches. Their store is the hidden gem in the diamond district.

This was my first real luxury watch purchase, a Rolex 15200 Date 34mm, I own Tissots and a Laco, but those are entry level luxury watches. I found Danny’s Vintage Watches online, and had great feedback both on Google, Chrono24 and the Reddit watch community. So decided to give him a shot as buying online can be a crap shoot. Ordered Monday night, was at my doorstep Friday morning. Despite the watch being over 30 years old, serial number says it’s from 91, the watch looked new. Didn’t come with box or papers, and was shipped in a plastic sleeve wrapped in bubble wrap. Danny was always available to answer questions. I’ll be buying from Danny again for the next purchase…saw a couple of Speedmasters on his site I liked….
