Time moves fluidly around its perfectly-proportioned dial. Accompanying the path traced by its fine, leaf-shaped hands, two windows placed side-by-side at 12 o'clock display the day of the week and the month. The moon follows its path at 6 o'clock, ornamenting the date indicator. Beautiful symmetry, optimal readability: the Girard-Perregaux 1966 Full Calendar satisfies the most refined tastes in terms of both pure design and distinctive style. On the back, the sapphire case-back reveals the GP033M0 mechanical self-winding movement designed by the Manufacture.
With its incomparable whiteness, the palladium case emphasises the outstanding character of these timepieces, available in only 199 numbered pieces. Part of the platinum family, this metal is twenty times less abundant than gold, and more resistant. Palladium is a rare metal much sought after for its numerous qualities. In particular, it does not require any rhodium plating, nor does it tarnish. This makes it the ideal metal for a watch with timeless character, such as the Girard-Perregaux 1966.
The Girard-Perregaux 1966 collection has quickly become one of the Brand's icons. Named in honour of the Neuchatel Observatory's Centenary Prize, awarded to the Manufacture in 1966 for its achievements in the field of chronometry, it embodies Girard-Perregaux's expertise both in terms of style and technical performance.
This year, Girard-Perregaux has chosen to create two limited edition models, each in only 199 pieces, with a palladium case which perfectly complements their timeless elegance.
