--The Swiss brand Girard Perregaux is recognized for their craftsmanship and innovative designs, in particular their Tourbillon with Three Gold Bridges first patented by Constant Girard in 1887. They are also well-known for their historical relationship with the famed auto manufacturer, Ferrari. Enzo Ferrari in the 1950s ordered six custom watches to give to victorious Ferrari racers for events like the Mille Miglia. Ferrari continued to request customized timepieces until they solidified their relationship with Girard-Perregaux, which became the official Ferrari timekeeper from 1994-2004.

--The present yellow gold, limited edition split-seconds chronograph wristwatch from 1995 is number 375 of 499 examples. The watch allows for precise timing of individual laps along with the duration of the entire race, simultaneously—a feature highly valued in motorsports. It has outstanding case proportions and classic clean lines, with the split-chronograph operated through three pushers in the case band. The dial is highlighted by “Cavallino Rampante” or little prancing horse, the recognized logo of the luxury carmaker.

--The watch is preserved in very good overall condition.
