The Breguet 7337: One of the Most Beautiful Moonphases in the World

This watch has been at the top of my want list for quite a while now. I still to this day still want one, but they are incredibly hard to find and there aren't too many Breguet dealers around......

For those who are not familiar with Breguet, let me blow your mind in about two minutes time. Breguet is one of the long time legacy swiss watch makers that everyone associates swiss watchmaking with. When I say the phrase "swiss watches", there should only be three names that pop into your head just because of the power of the brand: Rolex, Patek Philippe and Breguet. You could argue Breitling but for some reason, people think they are French.....

The 7337 is in my opinion, one of the most beautiful moonphase watches in existence. Below is a picture of the piece itself. The watch itself measures in at 39mm and is only set in gold and platinum like all Breguet watches except for their sport line. The face of the watch carries the traditional moniker of breguet witht he clean roman dial and guilloched face. There is a weekly calendar that shows the date at 10 o clock and a date counter at the 2 o clock position. The moonphase is centered at the 12 o clock position and has references for the lunar calendar on the outer portion for the 29.5 days of the lunar calendar.


The watch carries Breguet's in house 502.3 QSE1 automatic movement which contains 35 jewels and has a 45 hour power reserve as you can see below. With all recent Breguet models in their classique line, the watches not have a transparent caseback to allow you to view the movement. The predecessor to this watch was the Breguet 3330 has the exact same design except it contains an outdated movement, a solid caseback and the moon on the front of the watch does not have a face painted on it. Call me crazy but if you look back on the first picture, the moon has an awesome looking old school pocket watch face that is a big time selling point for me.


Thanks for your time guys and gals

    Also, that is really exquisite. I miss the days when toys were made from clockwork - their innards were absolutely beautiful and intricate!

    Gorgeous work of art. I was definitely impressed by the back of it. When the BACK of a watch impresses you, that's saying something :P

    A quarter mil?! Not even close - retail is $37,700 at the LA Breguet Boutique and at Tourbillon. Not cheap, but not $250K!
