DescriptionThe Girard-Perregaux 1966 40mm (Ref. 49555-11-1A1-BB60) exudes understated elegance, echoing the design ethos of 1960s timepieces while showcasing the brand's technical prowess. Encased in a polished stainless steel body, the watch measures a refined 40mm in diameter and a mere 8.9mm in thickness, ensuring a comfortable fit on the wrist. The silver opaline dial, adorned with eight brilliant-cut diamonds totaling 0.06 carats, presents a clean and classic aesthetic. Leaf-shaped hands gracefully indicate the hours and minutes, while a slender central seconds hand tracks the passage of time with precision. A discreet date window positioned at 3 o'clock adds a practical touch to the dial's uncluttered layout.

Powering the Girard-Perregaux 1966 is the in-house self-winding Caliber GP03300. This mechanical movement beats at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz), ensuring accurate timekeeping. Comprising 218 components and 27 jewels, the caliber boasts a minimum power reserve of 46 hours, allowing the watch to run reliably even when not worn for extended periods. The sapphire crystal case-back offers a captivating view of the intricate movement, complete with its oscillating weight crafted from heavy metal. Completing the watch's sophisticated look is a black alligator leather strap secured with a stainless steel pin buckle. This combination of materials and design elements results in a timepiece that seamlessly blends classic aesthetics with modern horological engineering.
