Girard Perregaux presented a fairly small collection this year with all the models being variants of existing models or calibres. As usual the highlights were variations of the GP tourbillon with Three Gold Bridges.
Several new models in the slim, round Vintage 1966 series were unveiled. The first couple are variants of existing models. The chronograph in white gold is now available with a blue dial.
The Vintage 1966 calendar now has a black dial.
And the Vintage 1966 Perpetual Calendar which was actually launched in late 2010 in rose or white gold.
The next is the Vintage 1966 Small Second, available in white or rose gold with a white Grand Feu enamel dial.
An entirely new model in this range is the 1966 Tourbillon. Featuring a tourbillon with a single gold bridge, this one takes after vintage is inspired by vintage pocket watches; notice the hand-engraved case back and domed dial. And it’s limited to 50 pieces in rose gold.
The Three Gold Bridges tourbillon with straight bridges is now available in white gold, and for the first time with an open back, in both the round President and Vintage 1945 case. This is not new but the Three Gold Bridges tourbillon still retains its charm.
The Vintage 1945 case is now available in XXL size of 35 by 36 mm. Available in rose gold or steel, though only the steel version is available with very retro looking applied numerals.
Ladies too can now enjoy the Vintage 1945 in a smaller, elongated case with either an automatic or quartz movement. The automatic is a small, 8 ¾ ’’’ in-house calibre.
Also for the ladies is a new Cat’s Eye Small Second, in white or rose gold with white or blue mother of pearl dial.
And saving the most interesting for last: the ww.tc is now available with a champlevé enamel dial, but turn it over and you see the Three Gold Bridges tourbillon. Notably, GP makes its enamel dials in-house. These will be made to order with any continent specified by the client.
