====== Girard-Perregaux 1966 ====== {{wst>image_r|Girard-Perregaux_1966|Girard-Perregaux 1966}} {{wst>image_r|Girard-Perregaux_1966_rg|Girard-Perregaux 1966 Red Gold}} The **1966** is a wristwatch by [[Girard-Perregaux]] The name of the collection // Girard-Perregaux 1966 // is reminiscent of the many innovations of the [[manufacture]] from the [[1960]] years, for example in [[1965]] the development of a mechanical precision movement with the then unheard frequency of 36,000, which was awarded in the following year the Centenary Prize of the [[Neuchâtel]] Observatory. The ultra-thin watches, of which the series // 1966 // consists, impress with their restrained and elegant appearance and a perfectly balanced shapeliness. In their own way they are approaching an ideal of clarity and elegance, as it can only be achieved by the most beautiful watches in the world. They are driven by the high-quality [[self-winding]] [[manufacture]] movement [[GP 3300]], which can be viewed through the transparent [[sapphire crystal]] caseback. **Reference: ** * 49525 **Movement: ** * [[Self-winding]] [[manufacture]] movement [[GP 3300]], 28,800 A/h * 11 ½ [[ligne]]s * 28 [[jewels]] * Power reserve 46 hours **Case:** * 18ct [[rose gold]] * D 38.0 mm, H 8.5 mm * [[Sapphire crystal]] with [[anti-glare treatment]] * [[Sapphire crystal]] caseback * [[Waterproof]] to 30 m **Functions:** * Hours, minutes, [[central seconds]], date **Bracelet: ** * Alligator leather strap with [[tang-type buckle]] in 18ct [[rose gold]] {{tag>Watch_models Girard-Perregaux_models}}
