1966

The Girard-Perregaux 1966 Chronograph, reference 49539-53-151-BK6A, is a watch that perfectly embodies what a dress chronograph should be: elegant enough for a dinner table, mechanical enough to satisfy the most discerning collector, and refined enough to never need an excuse. This certified pre-owned example from 2019 is offered in excellent condition and comes with its full original set, including box, papers, and all original accessories.

Crafted in 18k white gold, the 49539-53-151-BK6A presents the 1966 collection in a beautifully slim 40mm round case, with a sapphire crystal caseback revealing the automatic movement within. Clean, classical lines with a warmth and presence that only precious metal can deliver. A watch that carries its complications with the kind of discretion that signals true confidence.

The silver dial is serene and beautifully balanced, with applied index hour markers, a tachymeter scale running around the outer rim, and two chronograph subdials for 60 seconds and 30 minutes, all arranged with Girard-Perregaux's characteristic sense of proportion and elegance. A chronograph that whispers rather than shouts, and is all the more powerful for it.

Powering the watch is a high-quality automatic movement with transparent caseback, offering both mechanical soul and a direct connection to the fine watchmaking within. Built to the standards that earned Girard-Perregaux the Neuchâtel Observatory Centenary Prize.

The watch is delivered on its original black alligator strap with white gold pin buckle, completing an impeccably coherent and refined package.
