Full-Cataloguing
Good to know:
- Limited edition no. 0/18, first to be made
- Inspired by Copernicus and the heliocentric revolution
- Stone marquetry dial with hand-painted miniature work
Unveiled at Baselworld 2016, the "Center of the Universe Sun" is nothing less than a revolution in thought. For centuries, geocentrism had placed Earth at the center of all things. Then came Nicolaus Copernicus, the Polish astronomer whose groundbreaking theory repositioned the Sun as a fixed point around which the Earth and other planets revolve.
Copernicus spoke of a "24-hour renaissance"—the time it takes for the Earth to rotate on its axis and begin a new day. On the dial of this remarkable wristwatch, Girard-Perregaux gives that renaissance visual form. To achieve this, the manufacture assembled a palette of rare and luminous stones: orange aventurine, grey jade, orange jasper and cornelian. These materials are sculpted, polished, and arranged in a mosaic that recalls the patient artistry of Renaissance intarsia. The final touches come from the hand of a miniature painter, elevating the work from exceptional craftsmanship to genuine artistry.
Housed within a 40mm 18k pink gold case, it is powered by the in-house caliber GP03300-0060 with a 46-hour power reserve. Numbered 0/18, this is the first example made from the series and is further complete with all its accessories.
