Girard-Perregaux 1966 : Full Calendar in white gold



The Swiss Haute Horlogerie Manufacture has unveiled a new version of the Full Calendar from its Girard-Perregaux 1966 collection, this time in white gold to beautifully accentuate its discreet elegance.
 
The Girard-Perregaux 1966 Full Calendar harmonizes the functions and style of a grand watchmaking classic in an interpretation, which is both elegant and modern. Its smooth 40-millimetre round case, perfectly polished, houses an extremely useful complication: a full calendar, enabling the display of the date, the day, the month and the phases of the moon.





Time elapses smoothly on the perfectly proportioned and slightly domed dial. In support of the fine leaf-shaped hands, two windows placed side by side at 12 o’clock display the day and the month, while the moon follows its path at 6 o’clock, surrounded by the date display.

Pleasing symmetry, optimum legibility: the Girard-Perregaux 1966 Full Calendar in white gold satisfies the highest demands in terms of design refinement and distinguished style.

The sapphire crystal case back reveals the automatic-winding, mechanical movement GP033M0, designed by the Manufacture.

The Girard-Perregaux 1966 full Calendar is available in a choice of an intense black dial or a luminous white-silvered opalin dial.

Instead of GP using the typical full calendar, changing it up and using their patented big date system. That would be nice to see GP being the stand out manufacture that they are.

Corby
