Girard-Perregaux Vintage Small Seconds 50-60's
– Swiss Hand-Wound Mechanical – Black Dial – Unused 1970s Cork Strap

Model Overview

Μία κομψή, vintage Girard-Perregaux που συνδιαλέγεται ένα μαύρο καντράν με ζεστά ροζέ χέρια και εφαρμοσμένα επιφανειακά σημεία ώρας. Ένα αντίθετο ασημί-τόνου μικροδευτερόμετρο δεύτερών στο 6 ά ορίζει το ρολόι με μια διακριτή εμφάνιση. Το γυαλιστερό κυκλικό κόντερό και οι μακριοί καμπύλοι lug δημιουργούν μια εκλεπτυσμένη κορυφή-του-φόρου. Με διάμετρο περίπου 34.5–35 mm εκτός από την κορώνα, προσφέρει κλασικές vintage αναλογίες. Το ρολόι συνδυάζεται με ένα ασυνήθιστο, άχρηστο καουτσού Cork strap dating από τη δεκαετία του 1970.

Case & Crown

The silver-tone case features a polished bezel and elongated lugs that frame the dial attractively. Visible surface scratches and signs of wear are consistent with its vintage condition.

The inside of the caseback bears the Girard-Perregaux maker’s stamp and the inscription “Fond Acier Inoxydable,” identifying the back as stainless steel. The main case material has not been independently confirmed.

The crown is unsigned. Crystal material is unconfirmed, and water resistance has not been tested.

Dial & Hands

The black dial features applied Arabic numerals at 12, 3, 6 and 9, alternating with baton markers and a dotted outer minute track. The slender hands and warm rose-tone accents contrast beautifully with the dark dial.

The silver-tone small-seconds register at 6 o’clock displays visible age-related patina and carries a gold-tone seconds hand. The GP monogram and Girard-Perregaux signature appear beneath 12 o’clock, with “Swiss Made” at the bottom. There is no date display.

Originality Statement

In my opinion, the dial has not been repainted or refinished. I confirm that all components of the watch itself are genuine factory parts. The crown is unsigned, as disclosed above. These statements reflect my assessment as the seller; no independent authentication certificate is included. The separately fitted cork strap is not represented as a Girard-Perregaux factory accessory.

Movement & Caseback

The photographed hand-wound movement features copper-tone bridges and a Girard-Perregaux-signed winding wheel. “Swiss” and “17 Jewels” markings are visible.

The inside of the caseback carries the circular Girard-Perregaux maker’s stamp. The exact movement calibre and reference have not been confirmed.

Strap

Fitted with a special vintage cork strap from the 1970s, unused old stock. Its textured tan surface and darker natural patterns give each section an individual appearance and complement the watch’s vintage character.

The strap accommodates a wrist circumference of up to approximately 19 cm. Although unused, it is a vintage accessory rather than a recently manufactured strap.

Collector Appeal

This example offers an attractive combination of a black dial, contrasting silver small-seconds register and warm metallic details. Its compact proportions and curved lugs will appeal to collectors of traditional Swiss dress watches. The unused 1970s cork strap adds an unusual period accessory and a distinctive finishing touch.

Condition Report

The watch shows visible signs of age and use, including scratches and wear to the case. The dial details and subsidiary seconds register display patina. Reflections and surface marks are visible over the crystal in the photographs.

The cork strap is unused vintage stock. Service history, measured accuracy and power reserve have not been supplied. Please examine the photographs carefully, as they form an integral part of the condition description.

Delivery

The sale includes the watch and fitted vintage cork strap. The watch will be carefully protected and securely packed for dispatch.
