Prices are a snapshot from when this page was built — confirm on the retailer's site.
Story & heritage
The official 1966 page describes the model as following the design spirit of 1960s watches and paying tribute to Girard-Perregaux technical advances in chronometry.
Those advances are tied by the brand to the Neuchâtel Observatory Centenary Prize.
Materials & craft
The 40 mm steel reference lists Calibre GP03300, a self-winding in-house movement made of 218 components.
Specifications include stainless steel, sapphire glass, 8.9 mm thickness, 30 m water resistance and a sapphire caseback.
How to choose & style
This is the clean GP dress watch: wear it with tailoring, fine knitwear or a shirt cuff where a sports bracelet would feel too assertive.
Leather reads most formal; bracelet versions make the same dial easier for daily wear.
