GIRARD PERREGAUX Gyromatic Ref. 6169
 
What a cool 60s timepiece! The GP Gyromatic High Frequency from the 1960s is everything you would look for in a watch from that periode. A truly beautiful and stunning example of a vintage watch from a small watch manufacture. This beautiful WRISTCLASSIC comes with a unpolished case in good vintage condition and with sharp edges. Dating to the 60s this classic model measures 34 mm. It offers a fairly wide-set bezel that gives this watch a nice presence. The dial is allover in clean condition with the original lume, which aged into a dark caramell color. The simple GP-logo alongside the indexes and beautiful hands are harmonious and well balanced. The crown is original with the appropriate GP-logo. This WRISTCLASSIC is powered by a fast oscillator gyromatic swiss movement. The watch has been recently serviced. The leatherstrap is in unworn condition. It’s a true WRISTCLASSIC with perfect proportions, timeless styling, and a great reference to the 60s. It is a splendid model inside and out, so be ready for the constant compliments sure to come your way.
 
Girard Perregaux was founded in 1852 by Constantin Othenin Girard. First the company was named Girard & Cie. After two years the founder was married to Marie Perregaux, where the name Girard Perregaux comes from. 1957 GP introduced the first Gyromatic movement. At that time the Gyromatic movements were one of the best and precise automatic movements on the market. 1966 GP came up with the first High-Frequency movement, providing 36000 beats per hour.
