Girard-Perregaux Cat s Eye Aventurine SIHH 2019

In this pre-SIHH post, crown comfort introduces three exquisite additions to Girard-Perregaux's Cat's Eye collection, all featuring captivating aventurine dials. This article delves into the aesthetic and horological distinctions of the Aventurine Majestic, Celestial, and Tourbillon models, offering a glimpse into GP's commitment to ladies' high watchmaking.

Warming up for SIHH, Girard-Perregaux has revealed three new additions to the Cat’s Eye Ladies watch family, all of which with an aventurine glass dial, providing a deep blue colour.

The simple time only model is the Aventurine Majestic with a pink gold case and diamond setting on the bezel and the dial.

The Aventurine Celestial provides the already well known high-precision moon phase as known from the other Celestial Cat’s Eye models. Equally, the case is in pink gold with diamonds on bezel and dial.

The Haute Horlogerie family member is the Aventurine Tourbillon with a 1min Tourbillon under a gem-set bow. The Aventurine Tourbillon comes in white gold and heavy baguette diamond setting on the case and the dial.
