DescriptionThe Girard-Perregaux 1966 Date and Moon Phases reference 49545-11-131-BB60 is a refined timekeeping instrument that seamlessly blends technical prowess with understated elegance. The watch is housed in a meticulously crafted stainless steel case, boasting a 40mm diameter that strikes a harmonious balance between classic proportions and contemporary aesthetics. A mere 10.8mm in thickness, the case profile maintains a sleekness on the wrist, while still accommodating the self-winding mechanical movement within.

Protecting the meticulously crafted dial is a sapphire crystal, renowned for its exceptional scratch resistance and optical clarity. The dial itself, presented in a lustrous silver opaline finish, serves as an elegant canvas for the various timekeeping functions. Leaf-shaped hour and minute hands gracefully traverse the dial, pointing towards applied hour markers that lend an air of refined sophistication. A subtle date window discreetly resides at the 3 o'clock position, providing a practical element to the overall design. At the heart of this horological masterpiece lies the GP03300 caliber, a self-winding mechanical movement entirely developed and manufactured in-house by Girard-Perregaux. This intricate mechanism, comprising 276 meticulously finished components and 27 jewels, beats at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, ensuring precise timekeeping and a smooth sweep of the seconds hand. The movement's capabilities extend beyond the display of hours, minutes, seconds, and date, as it also incorporates a captivating moon phase complication. Positioned at 6 o'clock, this celestial display adds a touch of poetic romance to the watch, depicting the waxing and waning of the moon with captivating accuracy.
