The cool, sophisticated crystal has twelve facets that radiate like a slice of pie from the center to each hour marker giving each hour its own section.
As a mens midsize, it is well-suited for someone with smaller wrists or a woman who would like a more full size watch.
Powering it is its handwound Girard Perregaux movement, which is very clean and running true.
Its part are all-original down to the dial, hands, winding crown, and diamond faceted crystal and it is in very pleasing condition. The dial is a vintage restoration that has warmed to a sepia tone.
It is lovingly inscribed on the back with a date of 1961.
Our watchmaker has freshly cleaned and oiled it. For the finishing touch we have installed a new crocodile strap making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
Included with the purchase is a one-year warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.
