Collection
Nicolas (amanico) presents the Girard Perregaux 1966 Enamel, a timepiece he describes as 'pure class and beauty.' His detailed photographs highlight the watch's exquisite dial and elegant proportions, prompting a discussion among collectors about the optimal case material. Nicolas specifically expresses his preference for the white gold variant, inviting the community to weigh in on this aesthetic choice.
The Girard Perregaux 1966 reference, issued in 2014, represents a specific iteration within the brand's 1966 collection, known for its classic design language. This particular model features a friendly complication, distinguishing it from simpler time-only variants within the same series. The 1966 line generally emphasizes traditional watchmaking aesthetics and proportions, appealing to those who appreciate understated horology.
The watch is housed in a case characteristic of the 1966 series. It typically features a sapphire crystal, offering clarity and scratch resistance. The movement powering this reference is an automatic caliber, consistent with Girard Perregaux's in-house manufacturing capabilities, providing a reliable power reserve suitable for daily wear.
For collectors, this reference offers a less commonly seen variant of the 1966 collection. Its appeal lies in its adherence to classical design principles and the inclusion of a practical complication. While specific dial and hand configurations can be subjects of discussion among enthusiasts, the overall presentation aligns with the brand's heritage in precision watchmaking.
I’d go for the white gold. Regards, George
Platinum is the answer Joke aside I would do rose gold, seems to work best with my skin tone.
On this one, for me I have to go for the warmness of the rose gold. This seems to be a decision I’m making a lot lately, perhaps it’s due to getting old !!!
Tried one many years ago but decided 40mm was a tad too big and 38mm would be about right. Nah wrong decision made.
It adds a tad of visual stimulation to the overall appearance.
the wonderful warmth that the RG exudes in connection with the soft enamel effect, I tend (very, very narrowly decided) to the WG case. And yes, the backside - or better the inside - could be improved…
