Breguet La Marine Ref. 3400SA — 1990s Elegance in Motion

A remarkable example of Breguet's craftsmanship from the 1990s, the La Marine 3400SA stands out for its distinct blend of precious metal construction and meticulous detailing. The dial alone is a beauty for its layered textures and finishes: a central guilloché section framed by alternating silver and golden milgrain-style detail and surrounding outer chapter rings. The raised gold dot markers flank the black Roman numerals with classic blued Breguet hands and a sweep seconds hand, the date aperture at 6 o’clock completes the display.

The case is just as striking. The yellow gold bezel is smooth, contrasted by the coin-edge style ridging along the sides of the stainless steel case. The engraved ‘BREGUET’ crown adds a bold finishing touch.

One of the most standout features is the two-tone bracelet, which begins with channel-grooved end links that flow into a supple, chain-link style bracelet. The construction is both intricate and solid, closed with a butterfly deployant clasp and secured with a gold flip-lock engraved Breguet. Bracelets of this complexity and cost are rarely made today, an indicative to the level of craftsmanship that went into this piece.

Powered by an automatic movement, this Breguet La Marine is elegant yet sporty, it represents an elevated take on the luxury sports watch genre and remains in excellent condition. For the watch collector or enthusiast looking to stand out with sophistication, the 3400SA is a rare gem.
