Breguet 3337 Annual Calendar Decorated Movement

The Breguet reference 3337 is a refined expression of the maison’s commitment to classical watchmaking and one of the most elegant interpretations of the annual calendar complication produced during Breguet’s modern era. Housed in a beautifully proportioned case, this wristwatch embodies the aesthetic principles that have defined the brand since the time of Abraham-Louis Breguet: technical sophistication presented with restraint, balance, and exceptional attention to detail. Combining a moonphase display with a day and dates apertures, it offers a harmonious and highly legible dial layout while remaining unmistakably Breguet in character.

The dial is a showcase of the traditional métiers that have become synonymous with the manufacture. Executed in solid gold and decorated with finely engine-turned guilloché patterns, it demonstrates the artisanal expertise that has distinguished Breguet from its contemporaries for more than two centuries. The blued steel Breguet hands, Roman numerals, fluted caseband, and welded lugs all draw directly from the visual language established by the founder, creating a watch that feels rooted in history while remaining entirely relevant as a modern wristwatch. Unlike many contemporary calendar watches that emphasize complexity, the reference 3337 achieves a remarkable sense of clarity and elegance, allowing its complications to integrate seamlessly into the overall design.

From a collector’s standpoint, the reference 3337 holds a particularly interesting position within the Breguet catalogue. Mechanically and aesthetically, it is closely related to the reference 3330, sharing the same complete calendar and moonphase display. However, the 3337 distinguishes itself through the addition of a sapphire display back revealing a beautifully decorated movement, allowing the owner to fully appreciate the finishing and traditional craftsmanship that characterize the manufacture. Produced in far smaller numbers than the already desirable 3330, the 3337 is encountered significantly less frequently on the market, making it one of the more elusive references of this family. Its combination of classical Breguet aesthetics on the dial side and a visible, richly decorated movement on the reverse offers collectors the best of both worlds.

Our example is especially appealing, presented with its original 18k gold Breguet clasp, a desirable detail that enhances both its collectability and originality. Preserved in excellent condition, it represents a particularly coherent and attractive example of the reference. Combining classical aesthetics, practical complications, enhanced movement visibility, and the enduring craftsmanship for which Breguet is renowned, the reference 3337 remains one of the most elegant and uncommon calendar watches produced by the manufacture in the modern era.
