The Watch: The 3490 is Breguet at its most elegant and understated—a slim, yellow gold tonneau case paired with the maison’s hallmark finishing and a quietly sophisticated manual movement. At 29.5mm by 40mm, the proportions wear like a dress watch should: sculptural, not oversized.
The engine-turned silver dial features classicBreguet hands, Roman numerals, and a recessed small seconds subdial at 6. The caseback is secured by eight screws and houses theCaliber 818/4, a hand-wound movement with 18 jewels and traditional architecture.
It comes on a leather strap with an18k yellow gold Breguet-signed buckle, completing the piece with period-correct restraint.
Condition: Pre-owned with some light patina. See photos.
