Today's offering showcases this fabulous mid-century modern Girard Perregaux ladies 14K white gold bracelet watch. Made in the era of the '57 Chevy and '59 Cadillac, it's a prime example of fine mid-century modern design. We love its scalloped bracelet!

It has all of its original parts. It has just finished an expertly done restoration and presents in just short of mint condition.

The integral scalloped bracelet flows into the case with feminine curves, while the width of the watch gives it a substantial feel and keeps it from feeling too dainty. Its the first GP we have ever come across with this style.

The case and bracelet are well-complemented by the style and color of the classic silver dial.

At seven inches long, the bracelet is long enough to accommodate many wrists, and its length could be altered by a jeweler.

The watch was specially made for the U.S. market. The case is unsigned, made by a specialist case maker, and is original to the watch.

Its fine handwound is very clean.

It has all of its original parts and presents in beautiful condition. Its case and bracelet present as just short of mint with signs of previous polishing. Its dial has been restored by one of the leading experts in North America.

One of our Master Watchmakers has disassembled it down to its last screw and fully serviced it making it ready for immediate enjoyment.

Included with the purchase is a one-year international warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.

A unique wristwatch that will enhance the collection of a vintage watch enthusiast (or perhaps entice a Girard Perregaux collector's wife into the delightful world of vintage watches).

Your watch is important to us, and we will take care of it for its lifetime. We provide the best after sale care in the business with an extremely experienced team of four Master Watchmakers all of whom each have over thirty-five years of experience and a large number of parts. One used to be the watchmaker for an authorized Rolex dealership and was given special training by Rolex at their Beverly Hills Service Center.
