The Girard-Perregaux La Esmeralda Tourbillon "A Secret" Eternity Edition explodes with passion, from its vibrant red enamel dial that shimmers like a matador's cape to the intricate hand-engraved case that's as detailed as a Spanish mosaic. But don't be fooled by its flamboyant exterior – beneath the surface lies a mechanical heart that's as precise as a bullfighter's aim. The tourbillon, a mesmerizing whirlwind of gears and springs, dances with captivating complexity, while the pink gold case and alligator leather strap add a touch of luxury that's as smooth as a well-aged Rioja. This is a watch that's not afraid to make a statement, a timepiece that celebrates the artistry of both watchmaking and life itself.

DescriptionThe Girard-Perregaux La Esmeralda Tourbillon "A Secret" Eternity Edition, Reference 99274-52-3161-5CC, is an embodiment of horological artistry and technical prowess. The heart of this timepiece is the self-winding mechanical Calibre GP09600, a complex movement composed of 323 individual parts, each meticulously finished and assembled. The tourbillon, a hallmark of high-end watchmaking, not only serves as a visual spectacle but also enhances the accuracy of the movement by mitigating the effects of gravity on the regulating organ. The movement beats at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour (3Hz) and offers a minimum power reserve of 50 hours, ensuring reliable timekeeping.

The 43mm 18K pink gold case, a testament to the brand's commitment to quality, is adorned with intricate hand-engravings and grand feu enamel, a technique that involves fusing glass powder to metal at high temperatures, resulting in vibrant and durable colors. The case back, a hinged "secret" cover, opens to reveal a sapphire crystal exhibition window, offering a glimpse into the mesmerizing workings of the movement. The dial, crafted from hand-guilloché red enamel with a sunray motif, complements the case's opulence, while the blued steel hands and applied hour markers provide excellent legibility. The watch is paired with a luxurious alligator leather strap, secured with an engraved pink gold triple folding buckle, ensuring a comfortable and secure fit on the wrist. With a water resistance rating of 30 meters, this timepiece is suitable for everyday wear, though caution is advised around water.
