Explore the Girard Perregaux Tribute to Enzo Ferrari, a platinum perpetual calendar chronograph tourbillon with a contrasting design. Discuss its 43mm case and 17mm thickness.

Amanico shares his rare encounter with the Girard Perregaux Tribute to Enzo Ferrari, a platinum model he describes as a study in contrasts. He highlights the watch's surprising duality, with a modern dial juxtaposed against a classic movement, inviting the community to discuss its unique design and proportions.

A watch I was lucky to see once, only once, in the metal. A platinum model, which was also available in gold ( rose, and maybe white ).

The major interest of this watch is its " contradiction ". You could never guess, from the face, that the back would be so terrific. Modern and very cool ( it depends on everyone's taste, of course ) from the front, so classic and refined from the back.

Really surprising.

The only flaw I find on this watch? Its proportions: 43 mm is ok, but a height of... 17 mm is really very / too thick. Even if this watch is a perpetual calendar, chronograph and tourbillon.

Here are two pictures I could find on the net... There are not so many, either!

Unveiled in 2004.

What do you think of this Girard Perregaux?

Best,

Key Points from the Discussion

The dial appears less busy in person than in photos, and despite its 17mm height, the watch is considered very cool. There were 349 pieces made in platinum and rose gold, mirroring the Ferrari Enzo car production, and the contributor is curious about the metal split.
The contributor notes the watch has 11 hands on the dial, adding a detail about its complexity.
Another community member expresses a preference for the Girard Perregaux WW.TC Tourbillon over this model.
The dial's design is a point of uncertainty for one contributor, but the case back is universally admired.

Who would ever?

That's why I prefer the WW TC Tourbillon you posted awhile ago.

Aaaah, now you are talking. My favorite WW TC, and most probably WT all brands included. [nt]

As just recently shared with you

not sure about the dial, but never saw one in real life. The back side though: olala! Thx for sharing, Dirk
