Press Release
The GP1966 Full Calendar was awarded "Watch of the Year 2008" in the category
"Standard" by the magazine "Sekai no ude tokei – World
Wrist Watch" in Tokyo a few days ago.
In 1966, Girard-Perregaux received the Centenary Prize of the Observatory of Neuchâtel for an extremely high-precision mechanism – a mechanical movement oscillating at a frequency of 36,000 vibrations per hour.
Girard-Perregaux produced the "Girard-Perregaux 1966" collection inspired by this award and in tribute to the brand's achievements in the field of Chronometry.
The GP1966 Full Calendar is the marriage of a very practical watchmaking complication with supreme elegance, a sophisticated watch for every day use.
The brand is extremely proud and pleased for this prestigious recognition of Girard-Perregaux's excellence.
