Featuring Girard-Perregaux's Proprietary Big Date Mechanism

In the 1960s, Girard-Perregaux maintained its own R&D department, a rarity and a testament to its exclusivity as a manufacture at the time. In 1966, the brand launched its first high-frequency movement. This exceptional precision earned Girard-Perregaux 73% of the chronometer certificates issued by the Neuchâtel Observatory the following year, 1967. The Girard-Perregaux 1966 collection embodies this spirit of innovation from the 1960s, blending classic design with the manufacture's continuous pursuit of cutting-edge technology.

The "Girard-Perregaux 1966 Big Date & Moon Phase" is the latest addition to the Girard-Perregaux 1966 collection, integrating both Moon Phase and Big Date functions. It marks the first time these complications are featured in the Girard-Perregaux 1966 line, showcasing the brand's patented Big Date mechanism. The Big Date is displayed via two superimposed discs, integrated into the manufacture's automatic GP03300 movement. This highly refined mechanism achieves exceptional legibility by presenting the date without any dividing line between the digits.
