VINTAGE 1965 GIRARD PERREGAUX ’CALATRAVA’ 9KT GOLD EXPLORER DIAL

VINTAGE 1965 GIRARD PERREGAUX ’CALATRAVA’ 9KT GOLD EXPLORER DIAL EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. This wonderful quality and very stylish watch was manufactured in 1965 by the swiss maker ’Girard Perregaux’ and was clearly inspired by the Patek Philippe ‘Calatrava’ watches of the same era. Housed inside the solid 9kt gold 2 piece case we find the exceptional quality hand winding calibre 18 movement. Measuring 33mm across the bezel, not including the crown and 39mm tip-to-tip. The watch is in practically ‘as new’ condition throughout, with no dings or scratches what-so-ever and just some very fine hazing to the glass, which is the original. The silvered explorer type 12-3-6-9 dial with centre seconds is in exceptional condition and signed simply ‘Girard Perregaux’ the applied gold baton divisions and hands complimenting the dial perfectly. The original winding crown is still present and we have fitted a new, quality alligator grain strap. A beautiful watch and of very high quality from this highly prestigious manufacturer.
