Girard-Perregaux R&D 01 Chronograph Automatic Watch 49930 Date 43mm

Watch Overview Offered here is a Girard-Perregaux R&D 01 Chronograph, reference 49930, dating to the mid-2000s. R&D stands for “Research & Development,” and the R&D 01 is distinguished by its unconventional chronograph layout. Developed with input from athletes including racing drivers, the chronograph controls were positioned on the left side of the case for easier operation, while a separate crown at approximately 4 o'clock controls the internal rotating 60-minute bezel. It is a self-winding watch powered by the Girard-Perregaux caliber 33C0.AD automatic movement with chronograph complication, and 52 jewels. Operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour, it features a small seconds, a 12-hour chronograph counter, 24-hour indication, pointer date, and an internal rotating 60-minute bezel. The black dial features large luminous Arabic numerals outlined in red, luminous arrow-shaped hands, a red central chronograph-second hand, and contrasting yellow accents. Four subsidiary displays are arranged across the dial, with the 12-hour chronograph counter at 12 o'clock, 24-hour indication at 3 o'clock, pointer date at 6 o'clock, and small seconds at 9 o'clock. A rotating 60-minute scale surrounds the dial and is identified by a luminous triangular marker. The 43mm case is fitted with a smooth fixed outer bezel, sapphire crystal, and a sapphire display caseback secured by six screws, providing a view of the decorated automatic movement. The chronograph pushers are positioned on the left side of the case, while the crown at approximately 4 o'clock operates the internal rotating bezel. The water-resistance rating is 100 meters. It is fitted with a black Girard-Perregaux rubber strap and GP-signed double-folding deployant clasp. The watch is in pre-owned condition and shows signs of previous wear and use. It has been inspected by our in-house watchmaker and is running and keeping time.
