Girard-Perregaux Eternity Editions

Girard-Perregaux celebrates its 230th anniversary with three new collections dedicated to traditional luxury watchmaking.

Cat’s Eye Eternity Edition

Among the novelties, Cat's Eye is a relatively young model family that was added to the product line of the well-established brand in 2004 and won the Ladies Watch award in the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG) competition the same year.

The newly introduced Cat's Eye Eternity Edition (Reference: 80484D11A432) comes in a stainless steel case equipped with a bezel set with a total of 62 brilliant-cut diamonds (-0.85 ct). The case, which has scratch-resistant sapphire crystals on both sides, is made of stainless steel. Measuring 35.4mm x 30.4mm x 9.10mm, the elegant case is waterproof up to 30 meters.

Cat's Eye Eternity Edition hosts a blue enamel dial with a Guilloché sunray pattern. The dial with rhodium-plated thin markers and leaf-shaped hands has a date window at 3 o'clock.

The 46-hour power reserve automatic movement GP03300-1739 gives life to the new model.

The model, which is limited to 88 pieces, comes on a dark blue crocodile leather strap that is fastened to the wrist with a steel folding clasp. The list price for the model is CHF 15,700.

Laureato Eternity Editions

There are also two Laureatos in the Eternity-themed collection. The collection, which has become a strong alternative among Sport-Chic-themed models after its glorious comeback in the past years, is expanding with two limited edition references.

The new models come with the up-to-date Laureato case measuring 42mm in diameter 10.68mm in height. Sapphire crystals are used on both sides of the stainless steel cases. The sporty case is waterproof up to 100 meters.

The models are separated from each other by the dial colors. Reference: 81010-11-432011A (Blue Dial) and Reference: 81010-11-433011A (Green Dial). There are long hour markers and rhodium-plated baton-type hands on the Guilloché sunray background. The stylish dial has a date window at 3 o'clock.

The new models are powered by the automatic GP01800 movement, which offers a power reserve of 54 hours.

Models, each limited to 188 pieces, come with integrated steel bracelets. The list price for the models is CHF 13.460.

La Esmeralda Tourbillon “A Secret” Eternity Edition

La Esmeralda Tourbillon “A Secret” Eternity Edition takes the last place among the new models, which we can consider as a modern-day adaptation of a historical model that is of great importance for the brand. The new model is inspired by the brand's pocket watch "La Esmeralda", which was awarded a gold medal at the 1889 Paris World's Fair (an event where the Eiffel Tower was also exhibited). The watch, which was later sold to Porfirio Diaz, the president of Mexico (1830-1915), was finally sold to Girard-Perregaux in 1970 by a descendant of the president and began to be exhibited in the brand's museum.

La Esmeralda Tourbillon “A Secret” Eternity Edition (Reference: 99274-52-000-BA6A) is a wristwatch that hosts many details that pay homage to this special pocket watch.

Designed with a diameter of 43mm and a height of 15.10mm, the case is made of 18K rose gold. There is a sapphire crystal on the front of the case, whose bezel, lugs, and sides are engraved with a leaf pattern. On the back of the case, there is a sapphire crystal display case back, hidden under a blue enamel-covered solid gold cover, reminiscent of pocket watches, decorated with a horse motif.

The skeleton dial of the new model features hand-crafted galloping horse figures on the right and left ends, unlike the three big bridge forms of the brand's symbol details. The background of the dial, where the details of the vertically placed Tourbillon and the barrel are clearly visible, includes a completely hand-applied Guilloché pattern. Thick Dauphine hands display the time.

The magnificent model is powered by the in-house Caliber GP09600-1506 movement. Automatic movement with tourbillon features a power reserve time of up to 50 hours when fully wound.
