Girard-Perregaux Classique 47990

The Girard-Perregaux reference 47990 represents the Classique Automatic Date series with a specific "30 year Fiat work" designation from 1998. This reference distinguishes itself within the Classique lineup through its compact proportions and precious metal construction, positioning it as a formal dress watch offering from the Swiss manufacture. The 34mm case is crafted in yellow gold and features a smooth bezel configuration. The white dial displays the date function alongside standard timekeeping. The watch houses the automatic caliber 220 movement, which provides a 42-hour power reserve. A sapphire crystal protects the dial, and the case offers 30 meters of water resistance. The watch is completed with a leather strap. This reference appeals to collectors seeking a smaller-sized precious metal timepiece from Girard-Perregaux's formal watch category. The 34mm case size reflects late 1990s sizing preferences, making it suitable for those favoring more restrained proportions. The yellow gold case material and white dial combination provides a classic aesthetic within the Classique series framework.
