Girard-Perregaux 1966 Blue Dial Chronograph

Posted 1 year ago


To celebrate the 220th anniversary of the Girard-Perregaux Manufacture, the company issued an elegant blue chronograph for its Girard-Perregaux 1966 collection.

The whole collection is named after the important year in the company’s history, when Girard-Perregaux received the Centenary Prize from the Neuchâtel Observatory in recognition of its research in the field of precision. This collection pays a tribute to technical and stylistic expertise, comprising only the most refined pieces of mechanical watchmaking.

The special Girard-Perregaux 1966 Blue Dial Chronograph is crafted in carefully polished white gold, which feels perfectly comfortable on the wrist. The sunray brushed intense blue dial is here embraced by the finely shaped lugs, revealing applied Arabic numerals and delicate snailed engraving in the background.




This column wheel chronograph features a 30-minute counter and a central second hand, with an engraved tachymeter scale on the inner flange. Measuring elegant 40 millimeters in diameter, the golden case is protected by sapphire crystal glass from both sides, allowing for the view on the in-house mechanical automatic movement GP030C0. Continuing the company’s innovative tradition, the refined movement comprises 388 individual components, generously decorated and carefully assembled by the skillful watchmakers. The movement is fitted with 38 jewels, and provides at least 36 hours of power reserve.




Mounted on black leather strap and fastened with white gold ardillon buckle, the watch is water resistant to 30 meters.
