Vintage GIRARD PERREGAUX Gyromatic High Frequency

Description: With the Gyromatic movement inside this Girard-Perregaux, a commitment to quality and innovation. The brand began to source their first automatic movements from A. Schild, an ébauche, in the 1950s. These movements beat at the standard 18,000 beats per hour, or bph, but that was not good enough. GP aimed to push the standard higher. The result of stripping down the A. Schild and rebuilding it at their own factory is this Gyromatic High Frequency. The movement inside our watch beats at a quite impressive 36000 bph, so impressive that it necessitated putting "High Frequency" right on the dial. The Gyromatic High Frequency here dates to the 1970s and is heavily informed by that period in its design and overall look. That being said, the watch wears very well in, now, 2024 as integrated bracelet models from this decade have become quite popular. The chunky but comfortable bracelet found on this watch is actually of the same style and manufacturer as the Zenith and "TV" El Primeros . The bracelet is double signed at the clasp with both the GP and Châtelain logos.
