The dial appears to be original to the watch where the guilloche is flawless and there are no obvious signs of oxidation and damage.

The watch comes watch only with Handdn custom strap and factory original deployant clasp from Breguet in yellow gold.
Our Thoughts:
While the tourbillon is naturally the headline complication, it is arguably not the most fascinating aspect of the 3357BA. Instead, it is the remarkable level of hand craftsmanship that leaves the greatest impression. From the finely hand-guilloche dial to the beautifully engraved movement main plate, every surface reflects the decorative techniques that have defined Breguet for generations. Even the area behind the tourbillon bridge has been meticulously engraved, demonstrating a level of attention to detail that extends far beyond what is immediately visible.
Rather than allowing the tourbillon to dominate the watch, Breguet presents it as just one element within a composition of engraving, guilloche, and classical finishing. The result is a timepiece that rewards closer inspection, revealing new details each time it is turned over of viewed from a different angle.
