Girard-Perregaux 1966 Full Calendar
The 1966 range has been very successful for GP, combining classic elegance with modern design flair. The 1966 Full Calendar is the perfect example of a wearable and functional everyday watch. The case diameter is 40x10.7mm and inside beats the reliable GP033MO automatic calibre.
