Catalogue Essay
Girard-Perregaux created the present watch in collaboration with the legendary Italian sports car manufacturer Ferrari to celebrate ten years of fruitful partnership and the launch of the Ferrari Enzo. The watch harmonizes the extreme concept of Formula 1 as the manufactory’s designers have decorated the year cycle with the same colors used on racing car instrument panels. The back of the watch reveals a new version of the tourbillon with Three Gold Bridges movement where the gold of the emblematic three arrows contrasts with the plate, whose surface has been skillfully hand-guilloched with a circular pattern.

Featuring a tourbillon, perpetual calendar and chronograph mechanism, the present watch will surely captivate luxurious sports car and complicated watch enthusiasts.

The present lot is being sold to benefit The One Drop Foundation, a charity striving to provide safe drinking water to all communities.

Girard Perregaux

Swiss | 1791
Celebrating its 225th anniversary in 2016, the company earned its fame as the first vertically integrated Swiss watchmaking company, manufacturing high-grade movements, cases and dials within its premises. Particularly noteworthy are the brand's three-gold-bridge tourbillon pocket watches built by Constant Girard beginning in 1867 — considered amongst the most beautiful movement architectures ever made. An active participant in Switzerland's observatory chronometry competitions, the brand won so many precision awards that they were excluded from competing in 1901.

Key models include nineteenth and twentieth century pocket watches with three gold bridges, modern tourbillon wristwatches with three gold bridges, minute repeating pocket and wristwatches, as well as sport watches such as the Laureato and Sea Hawk.
