Girard Perregaux 1966 Annual Calendar Equation of Time, White Gold.

Apr 12, 2021,09:12 AM
 

Some pictures of this 1966 which gathers two complications which are very useful together: The Annual Calendar ( even if a perpetual calendar would have been better... ) and the Equation of Time. 


Indeed, it is quite great to have an Equation of Time associated to a calendar you don't have to set every month, but only once in a year. 

Is the Equation of Time very useful? Certainly not for the majority of us, but this kind of complications makes me dream. 












And I am not the only one to like it...

...kind of a pet peeve of mine (and many others). A lot of manufacturers using decades-old movements originally made for smaller watches...

+1!

This is one of my grails, never seen it in person but I was drawn to everything about it , from the layout to the EoT!! Not many watches make me stare at them for ages, definitely white gold over the rose! Rose seems more cluttered for some bizarre reason...
