Rare Breguet platinum perpetual calendar ref 3617

The Breguet Reference 3617, a timeless masterpiece introduced in the early 1990s, seamlessly blends the complexities of a perpetual calendar with the precision of a chronograph into an elegant and easily readable timepiece. The day of the week is discreetly indicated within the subdial at 9 o'clock, the date in the subdial at 3 o'clock, and the month and leap year information is thoughtfully placed in a subdial at 12 o'clock. In the quintessential Breguet style of the era, the dial is lavishly adorned with intricate hand-guilloché patterns. The center showcases a classic clous de Paris motif, the chronograph subdials feature an elegant basket weave pattern, and the moonphase indication is beautifully embellished with a wave pattern. Powering this exceptional timepiece is the revered Lemania Cal. 2310, a manually wound chronograph movement renowned for its reliability and precision. This movement is also found in the iconic Patek Philippe Reference 3970, further solidifying its status as a horological legend. A highly sought-after collector's item, the Reference 3617 in its ultra-rare and seldom-seen platinum case is particularly coveted by connoisseurs.
