Girard - Perregaux 1966 Small Second

Antonio Mugica

This is a beautiful watch from a house that was founded in 1791.  It has a hand grained dial with painted Arabic numerals and blue steel hands.  It also has a date aperture at three o'clock and a domed sapphire crystal.
The watch was made to commemorate two important dates, which are engraved on the back of the watch.  The first is 1889, when Girard - Perregaux won the Gold Medal at the Universal Exhibition in Paris for its pocket watch later known as "La Esmeralda", which was in 1900 considered without equal.  This watch will be made in a special edition of only 100 units.
