The Classique Moonphase 4396 combines a Breguet overcoil balance spring, 122-year accuracy moonphase, and the signature guilloched dial in a gold case; secondary prices are stable and the reference rewards buyers who appreciate technical finishing.
Community + OSINT signals haven’t landed for this reference yet. We don’t publish a rating against zero signal — the number would mean nothing. Editorial body + caliber + market value still surface above; ratings appear once the signal corpus does.
Moon disc artwork is hemisphere-specific; verify the disc orientation matches the intended market.
| Area | What to check | What is correct | Red flag |
|---|---|---|---|
| dial | Moonphase disc orientation | Northern hemisphere: moon face oriented upward on the disc; southern hemisphere: moon face oriented downward; matches market documentation | Moon orientation inconsistent with the documented market configuration for this serial range |
| dial | Moon disc hand-painting quality | Luminous moon rendering with consistent brushwork; Breguet-specific moon face artwork; stars positioned correctly on disc | Inconsistent brushwork; mass-produced moon face without individual hand-painting characteristics; incorrect star count or arrangement |
| dial | Guilloché and aperture finish | Moonphase aperture cleanly cut; guilloché continues to aperture edge without interruption; rose gold case matches 4396BR specification |
