For Your Safety: A Message to All Buyers
- New Seller Notice: If a seller is new to the Collectors Market with less than 200 posts. While everyone starts somewhere, we strongly recommend using a secure payment method like PayPal Goods & Services or a credit card for purchases for buyer protection.
- Critical Security Alert: Established accounts can be compromised. Always request a custom timestamp (a photo of the watch with a note of your choosing) from any seller, regardless of their transaction history. For the highest security, a live video call is the best way to confirm the seller physically has the watch.
If a seller refuses these basic checks or you see any red flags, stop the transaction immediately.
Remember: A real seller with a genuine watch has nothing to hide and will understand your need for caution.
Sellers Comments: For sale is a new, unworn and genuine Girard Perregaux Richeville automatic mens watch. I purchased this watch for myself and had intended to wear it on special occasions but unfortunately none have come my way.
It is a terrifyingly classy and discreetly timeless watch.
It comes with all boxes, paperwork, swing tag (still attached) and unstamped warranty.
The buyer will be absolutely delighted with this time piece.
DETAILS
Although no introduction to Girard Perregaux is required, the watch does have the following technical specifications:
movement rhodium plated, chronometer grade GP 3000
calivre (lines) 10 1/2
Frequency 28,8000 vib/h
32 jewels
stainless steel stepped deco case
case size 32 x 38mm
screw-back with 6 screws
sapphire crystal
water resistant 30 meters (3 atmospheres)
an absolutely stunning silver guilloche dial the beauty of which can only be appreciated through a loupe. How they managed to write AUTOMATIC above and SWISS MADE below the subdial on a guilloche background is anyone's guess.
hand stitched GP leather strap an accompanying GP steel buckle
The GP calibre 3000 was first introduced in Basel 1994 and is completely done by GP. It is the first self winding movement in the GP 3000 series. It is still among the slimmest automatic movements on the market and the base movement for the automatic chronograph movement calibre 3080.
As a testament to the quality, accuracy, strength and finish of the 3000 movement, in 2003 Daniel Roth modified its own Instantaneous Perpetual Calender module with a Girard Perregaux cal. 3000 base movement.
The Instantaneous Perpetual is a Daniel Roth trademark and DR only manages to make about 20 of these per year.
Lastly, I should add that this is GIRARD PERREGAUX RICHEVILLE AUTOMATIC is a rare and limited production watch. The serial number on the backplate reads #304. You would do well to try and find a similar time piece, especially in new condition.
The photos in this listing appear somewhat small and do not do the watch justice. However, the photos are 5mp and are large and offer excellent resolution when viewed by windows picture / fax viewer. For people who are genuinely interested, please email me here: [Email address suppressed for privacy] and I will be happy to send you a zip folder with the photos for you to examine.
