Breguet Tradition 7027

About this reference

The Breguet Tradition 7027BA/11/9V6, introduced in 2005 and discontinued around 2014, represents the inaugural reference of the Tradition collection. Collectors value this 37mm 18k yellow gold model for its caliber 507DR, which utilizes a symmetrical architecture inspired by Abraham-Louis Breguet’s late 18th-century souscription watches. The movement is fully exposed on the dial side, featuring sandblasted finishes, a pare-chute shock protection system, and a power reserve indicator visible on both the front and back. Its compact case size and yellow gold composition distinguish it from later, larger iterations. On the secondary market, this reference typically trades between $14,000 and $19,000 depending on condition and provenance. A notable production detail is the transition from the early "frosted" finish to a more uniform NAC coating in later years, with the original yellow gold 7027BA remaining the most historically accurate tribute to the brand's antique pocket watches.
