Quick TakeThe Girard-Perregaux 1966 Orion is a watch that doesn't just tell time; it tells a story. A story of meticulous craftsmanship, where a rose gold case embraces a shimmering aventurine dial. A story of mechanical mastery, where the self-winding GP03300 caliber beats with precision and reliability. A story of timeless elegance, where classic design meets modern sophistication. This is a watch that whispers of starlit nights and moonlit walks, a watch that invites you to lose yourself in its celestial beauty. A watch that doesn't just adorn your wrist, but also enriches your life.

DescriptionThe Girard-Perregaux 1966 Orion is distinguished by its 40mm case, meticulously crafted from 18K pink gold. With a slender profile of 9.4mm, the case gracefully accommodates the self-winding GP03300 caliber. A sapphire crystal caseback provides a window into the intricate mechanics of the movement, showcasing the meticulous attention to detail that characterizes Girard-Perregaux's watchmaking legacy.

The dial, a captivating expanse of blue aventurine, evokes the mystique of the cosmos, shimmering with a subtle sparkle. This celestial tableau is punctuated by slender leaf-shaped hands and applied pink gold hour markers, which elegantly track the passage of time. The dial's periphery features a discreet minute track, further enhancing the watch's readability. A date window, positioned at 3 o'clock, seamlessly integrates into the dial's design, providing essential information at a glance.

Driving the 1966 Orion is the in-house GP03300 caliber, a testament to Girard-Perregaux's horological expertise. This self-winding movement beats at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz) and boasts a power reserve of 46 hours. Its architecture comprises 218 components, including 27 jewels, all meticulously assembled and finished. The movement's oscillating weight, crafted from pink gold, adds a touch of opulence to the watch's mechanical heart. Completing the 1966 Orion's ensemble is a hand-stitched alligator leather strap, its Deep Blue hue harmonizing with the aventurine dial. The strap is secured by a pink gold pin buckle, which echoes the case's warm luster. Despite its elegant appearance, the 1966 Orion is not merely a dress watch; it boasts a water resistance of 30 meters, ensuring its suitability for everyday wear. Weighing in at 80.31g, the watch strikes a balance between substance and wearability.
