Girard-Perregaux Gyromatic - (Ref. 40992956/AS11776) 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 automatic winding dress watch is an excellent example of what we mean. In the 1950s, the newest developments in watch technology revolved around automatic winding movement development, and GP was at the forefront. In 1950, GP presented the Gyromatic, which replaced ratchet winding with roller clutches that are far more efficient.

The Gyromatic allowed Girard-Perregaux to develop slimmer, more efficient compact dress watches. This piece is just one example. Fashioned from stainless steel, this dress swatch features stronger 3,6,9, and 12 indices, with further applied indices for the minor indexes. The dial is fashioned in a silver hue and is topped off with a 'pencil' handset.

Slim, elegant, and refreshingly unfussy, this is the kind of watch that makes a strong case for restraint. It also marks an important part in the evolution of watches in general with advanced automatic winding movement systems.
