Dial and Complications

The timepiece features a silvered engine-turned guilloché dial bordered by a brushed chapter ring displaying black Roman numerals. The primary time is shown via blued steel Breguet open-tipped hands, with smaller blued hands indicating the sub-dial functions. The perpetual calendar layout incorporates French-language abbreviated calendar indications, such as 'DIM', 'LUN', 'MAR', 'JAN', and 'FEV'. Calendar and astronomical displays are arranged across four positions: the month and leap-year cycle at 12 o'clock, the day of the week at 9 o'clock, the date at 3 o'clock, and a moon phase aperture at 6 o'clock.

Identity and Case Construction

The wristwatch is designated as a Breguet Classique reference 3057, configured in a 36mm round 18K yellow gold case. Physical observations and dealer descriptions indicate a smooth domed bezel, straight soldered lugs, and a coin-edge reeded pattern along the mid-case perimeter. A fluted winding crown set with a blue cabochon is positioned at 3 o'clock, described by the dealer as a sapphire winding crown. While the dealer states that the watch has an 18K yellow gold case with an exhibition back under a sapphire crystal, only the front face of the wristwatch is shown in the provided photograph.

Reported Movement and Documentation Limits

The movement is described by the dealer as an intricately engraved 35-jewel caliber signed by Breguet, visible through an exhibition case back. However, the movement plates and specific caliber designation are not visible in the supplied single front-facing photograph and are not named in the source text. The seller reports a production date of circa 1990 and notes that the watch is accompanied by an original box. Individual serial numbers for the case and movement are not recorded in the source listing.
