The new ref. 7357 is a modernization of the original ref. 3350 tourbillon from the 1980s, designed to address perceived downsides and meet buyer requests.
The watch is available in Breguet gold (a proprietary alloy) or platinum, with the gold version featuring an opaline finish on the dial and the platinum version an anthracite finish.
Dials feature a Clous de Paris guilloché pattern on the chapter ring and a barleycorn pattern around the edge, radiating from the one-minute tourbillon.
The tourbillon bridge design has been altered from the original, now curving with the dial and case for a more integrated look.
The caseback features a unique guilloché pattern called "Dent de Vaulion," inspired by the view from a mountain overlooking the Vallée de Joux.
The movement, based on caliber 558.1T, has been revamped into caliber 187 with 41% new parts, including a Breguet Nivachron balance spring and silicon pallet lever for improved antimagnetism.
The lugs have been redesigned with a downturned profile for improved comfort, a departure from the straight, thin lugs of older Breguet models.
The coin-edge midcase, a signature Breguet element, has been reintroduced on the 7357.
