Here we have yet another reinterpretation of the famous Girard-Perregaux 1966 watch. This novelty combines the discreet and timeless elegance like all models from this family. The new watch is offered in two versions for men and women.
The newest model of the iconic Girard-Perregaux 1966 is housed in an elegant 18-karat rose gold case and features an exclusive guilloché dial.

Guilloché is a decorative technique which is used in watchmaking usually on dials and, occasionally, for cases and case backs. The French word “guilloché” dates back to at least the late 18th century, but the art with which we associate it dates even earlier. This engraving technique involves the mechanical creation of hollowed, concentric patterns. The technique is very appreciated among watch afficionados since it adds interest and value to what might otherwise be a plain surface, thus turning timepieces into art pieces.

The gent’s version of the new Girard-Perregaux 1966 Watch with guilloché dial (ref. 49525-52-133-BB60) is housed in a round red gold case which measures 38mm in diameter. Underneath the front sapphire glass lies a guilloché dial with applied and painted baton-type hour markers. Traditionally, there is a small date display at the 3 o’clock position. There are also a characteristic leaf-shaped hour and minute hands, as well as a thin seconds hand.
The gent’s model is powered with the in-house manufactured caliber GP03300-00030-OM5A mechanical movement. The self-winding movement consists of 205 individual parts and has the beating rate of 28,800 beats per hour (4 Hz). The 27 jewels movement has a power reserve of approximately 46 hours. The main-plate and bridges are drawn, beveled, circular-grained and encrusted with Côtes de Genève motifs.
