Girard-Perregaux, La Chaux-de-Fonds, "Gyromatic 39 Jewels", Movement No. 2209121, Case No. 7317-OJ, 34 mm, circa 1965
A classic vintage and very rare automatic observatory chronometer with centre seconds and date
Case: 18k gold, screw back. Dial: gilt, textured.
This marvellous vintage wristwatch by Girard-Perregaux in a 18k gold case is exceptionally attractive; the watch is fitted with an inhouse automatic chronometer movement.
The combination of the corrugated dial and the gently curved lugs - instead of the straight lugs that would have conformed to the taste of the 1950s and 1960s – is striking.
