Description from the seller
Welcome to my Top Swiss Chronographs Boutique!
Breguet dates to 1775, when Abraham-Louis Breguet established his watchmaking firm in Paris. A-L Breguet is now regarded as the single most influential watchmaker of all time. During his lifetime, Breguet pioneered many watchmaking techniques, as well as what is considered to be the world's first wristwatch in 1810.
There aren't many watchmakers who have a reputation for simultaneously producing delicate, understated dress watches and powerhouse luxury tool watches quite like Breguet. And more power to them, as this characterful Transatlantique Type XX Flyback is in a league of its own. Somehow, this 39.5mm chronograph with its bezel and supersized personality has captured the essence of Breguet's refined dress watches with nuances throughout that connect the dots between the two.
The fluted coin-edge case body and the charismatic executions of dial furniture have made this cohesion possible. This demonstrates that although this tool watch on paper is worlds away from a dress watch, they're undoubtedly singing from the same hymn sheet.
Now, that's one hell of a testament to Breguet's ability.
Breguet Type XX was designed in the 50's for the French naval air army and all chronographs within this collection are fitted with a flyback mechanism that is labeled by Breguet in French language as 'retour en vol', flyback in English.
Breguet 3810BR929ZU is a golden version of the Breguet Type XX Transatlantique — one of the more sought-after “neo-vintage” pilot chronographs from Breguet. It sits in the period where Breguet revived the military-inspired Type XX design and mixed historical aviation styling with a more modern automatic movement.
Breguet introduced the Type XXI 3810 in 2004, marking the 50th anniversary of the modern Type XX. Its design continues the company’s line of aviation chronographs, which traces its origins to watches supplied to French military aviation in the 1950s.
The defining innovation of the Type XXI was the use of two centrally mounted chronograph hands:
- A conventional long hand records chronograph seconds.
- A second central hand records elapsed minutes on the outer 60-minute scale.
This arrangement is considerably easier to read than a traditional 30-minute subdial. The space at three o’clock was therefore available for a 24-hour day/night indicator. Breguet described this layout in its original presentation of the model. Original Type XXI presentation
The rose-gold version followed shortly after the first Type XXI 3810 models. Known examples are dated 2006, 2008, 2009, 2015, and later. It was a regular-production model rather than a numbered limited edition.
Many enthusiasts view the 3800/3820 era as a sweet spot of “old Breguet charm + practical modernity.”
Numerous famous people have worn—and still wear—Breguet watches. Here is just a very short list, which could go on and on:
- Marie Antoinette & Napoleon Bonaparte
- Queen Caroline Bonaparte (Queen of Naples)
- Sir Winston Churchill
- Tsar Alexander I
- Arthur Rubinstein
- Queen Elizabeth II
- Jay Leno
- Ben Affleck
- Luke Bryan

…and other celebrities. Today, you have the chance to join this distinguished company!

Extremely high recognition value. Distinctive design.
Excellent condition, never worn: the wristwatch comes from luxury watch-shop showcase; that's why the strap is replaced with brand new one, alligator grain on cow (leather straps often suffer from temperature in shop windows due to powerful spotlights).
Chic wooden watch box (see pics).
Docs: for watches older than two years, “original warranty” means that the warranty doc is included.
General professional pre-sale service was made in August 2026: the watch is keeping good time and working perfectly.
My personal authenticity and quality warranty: you will get warranty card (as pictured), fully completed, stamped and signed. My impeccable seller reputation speaks for itself: look at my feedbacks and sales ratings.
Insured, registered shipping worldwide with Intl. Express service: it’s not cheap, and yet fast and reliable, two days in Europe, three days for the rest of this world.
For certain destinations, I would prefer to deliver this exceptional watch personally. I would be happy to discuss this option with the buyer.
What you see in my pics is what you get. These are my own photos of the actual watch up for auction.
Chic 18 Carat Pink Gold Breguet Transatlantique XXI Flyback: beautiful watch and clever investment....
...Especially considering the staggering rise in the price of gold.
Why is Breguet so expensive?
Breguet also has a team of 20 artisans who work the guilloché dial, a feature that has long become a legacy worthy of preservation. In a nutshell, Breguet invests in ensuring that they create timepieces that surpass the market's expectations, a reason why their watches sell for high prices.
