Girard-Perregaux Dress Watch - (Ref. 40992997/AS11838) Product Details

Overall Condition: Very good condition overall. Case shows light wear. Dial and matching handset show even patination.

Few names in Swiss watchmaking carry the quiet authority of Girard-Perregaux. With roots tracing back to the late 18th century, the manufacture has weathered revolutions in taste and technology alike — from early adoption of wristwatches to meaningful contributions to quartz engineering. But long before high-frequency oscillators and Laureato hype, GP excelled at something far more elemental: the perfectly judged dress watch.

This manually wound 1960s example distills that ethos beautifully.

Housed in a 14K yellow-gold round case with a finely stepped, almost architectural bezel, it offers just enough texture to elevate its otherwise restrained profile. The champagne sunburst dial is pure mid-century minimalism — slender applied 'stick' indices, sharp 'dauphine' hands, and a simple printed signature. No date. No extraneous text. Just proportion and light playing across brushed gold tones. It’s paired with a black crocodile leather strap that sharpens the contrast and keeps the look formal without feeling fussy.

Turn the watch over, and you’ll find a solid gold caseback engraved “BJW,” a reminder that these pieces were once deeply personal objects — given, worn, lived in.

Slim, elegant, and refreshingly unfussy, this is the kind of watch that makes a strong case for restraint. A martini-hour essential. A tuxedo’s best friend. And proof that sometimes, the most enduring design statement is simply knowing when to stop.
