Few watch brands can compete with Girard-Perregaux in the history department. 

Dating back to the late 1700's, Girard Perregaux has a story filled with innovation that includes pioneering efforts in early wristwatches and invaluable contributions to the engineering of the quartz movement.

Like many other brands, GP worked hard during the 1940’s to build simple, robust watches that could be worn day-to-day, the results of which were myriad beautiful timepieces that can still be had relatively affordably. This particular GP, however, is a modern take on a midcentury aesthetic.

Part of the 1966 model family of round watches, this gorgeous Reference 49525 is housed in a 38mm rose gold case with a signed crown, a domed sapphire crystal, and a sapphire exhibition caseback. It features a satin silver dial with painted indices and applied gold quadrant indices, a matching ‘feuille’ handset with a blued steel seconds hand, and a recessed date window at 3:00. 

Powered by the automatic Girard-Perregaux Calibre 3300 movement with 27 jewels, it comes paired to one of our Analog:Shift leather straps with a signed rose gold pin buckle.

Truly, this is a superlative, gorgeous contemporary dress watch that would make an excellent accent to a suit, or for anyone who enjoys a refined look with casual attire.
