Breguet Classique Moonphase 3300BA – 18K Yellow Gold White Guilloché Dial

Details

Pure Breguet language

The Reference 3300BA is the purest expression of the Breguet philosophy, housing a complex moonphase complication within the brand's iconic, ultra-thin architecture. During the 1990s, while the rest of the industry was leaning into larger, more aggressive designs, Breguet remained committed to the classical proportions that Abraham-Louis Breguet established two centuries prior. This piece features the hallmark coin-edge case and a hand-guilloché silvered dial—a texture that provides incredible depth and legibility despite the watch’s refined 33mm footprint.

A study in traditional craft

Every element of this dial is a masterclass in traditional watchmaking. The hand-turned engine-engraved patterns create a distinct contrast between the time-telling surface and the moonphase indicator at 6 o'clock. The deep blue of the moonphase disc provides the only pop of color against the monochromatic white dial and heat-blued Breguet "pomme" hands. It is a design that prioritizes balance and elegance, making it an ideal choice for a collector who values the quiet, technical sophistication of the neo-vintage era.

Preserved and verified

This 18k yellow gold example has been remarkably well-preserved, retaining the sharp vertical fluting on the case sides and the crisp definition of the stepped bezel. Crucially, the watch remains on its original leather strap and is secured by the correct factory 18k yellow gold buckle—a detail that is essential for maintaining the integrity of a high-level dress piece. Mechanically, the manual-wind movement is performing flawlessly, with the moonphase functioning exactly as intended after passing our test bench.

The definitive dress outlier

This is for anyone who finds modern dress watches too bulky or clinical. It carries a level of heritage and hand-finishing that is increasingly rare in contemporary watchmaking, functioning more like a piece of living history than a standard accessory. It manages to be undeniably Breguet while remaining an understated, sophisticated choice for the person who values nuance over noise. It is rare, it is verified, and it represents a peak moment in the brand's classical output.

History

Abraham-Louis Breguet founded his workshop in Paris in 1775 and proceeded to invent or refine more essential watchmaking concepts than any other single person in the history of the craft: the tourbillon, the self-winding Perpétuelle pocket watch, the Breguet overcoil, and the Breguet numeral typeface still used on dials today. The Marine collection is inspired by Breguet's historical work creating chronometers for the French Navy. The Classique is the formal dress collection. Our examples represent one of horology's most important names at accessible price points.

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….
