Breguet Classique 7337 in Rose GoldThe legendary Swiss watchmaker has reissued the 2009 Breguet Classique 7337 automatic watch in a rose gold case.Beside the choice of metal, there are no visual differences between the original and the 2011 year reissue.The refreshed model comes equipped with the same Caliber 502.3 QSE1 ultra-thin automatic movement that features an antimagnetic silicon balance spring and a hand-guilloche 18-carat gold winding rotor.The dial is also the same featuring an off-centered chapter ring with Roman numerals, a small seconds sub-dial at 6 o’clock, a phases and age of the moon indicator at 12 o’clock and day of week and date indicators placed at 10 and 2 o’clock respectively.The whole display is framed into a finely crafted 39 mm rose gold case with fluted middle part and a pair of sapphire crystals both at the front and on the back.As far as I understand, Breguet doesn’t plan to limit the 7337’s production: when you price a watch like a Mercedes SUV, the limits are set naturally by the invisible hand of the market.
