Girard-Perregaux · Family: 1966
The Girard-Perregaux 1966 40mm 49555-11-131-11A is a steel dress watch with a silver opaline dial and integrated bracelet, part of the collection the manufacture introduced in 2006 as a tribute to the high-frequency caliber (36,000 vph) that earned it the Neuchâtel Observatory's Centenary Prize in 1966. It runs the automatic manufacture caliber GP03300, with 218 components and 27 jewels. This is the second Girard-Perregaux reference in Cazador's catalog, after the Laureato 42mm; we have no verified price observations (n=0) for this reference as of today.

Girard-Perregaux was founded in 1791 in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, one of the oldest continuously operating watch manufactures in the world.
In 1965, the brand developed, alongside other Swiss manufacturers, one of the first high-frequency movements (36,000 vibrations per hour, 5 Hz), the caliber 32A, whose entire production run of 662 units was submitted for chronometer certification at the Neuchâtel Observatory in 1966/67. The project earned Girard-Perregaux that observatory's Centenary Prize.
In 2006, four decades later, the manufacture introduced the '1966' collection as a direct tribute to that technical milestone, with ultra-thin cases, rounded dials, leaf-type hands, and tapered indexes recalling the sobriety of mid-20th-century dress watches.
The 49555-11-131-11A pairs the 40mm, 8.9mm-thick steel case with an integrated bracelet in the same material and a silver opaline dial. It runs the manufacture caliber GP03300, an automatic movement with 218 components and 27 jewels visible through a sapphire caseback. [UNVERIFIED: we do not confirm the exact power reserve of the GP03300 caliber in the official spec sheet consulted]. This is the second Girard-Perregaux reference we're adding to Cazador's catalog, after the Laureato 42mm 81010-11-634-11A.

No; with 30 meters of water resistance it handles occasional splashes, but it isn't built for swimming or diving.
The 1966 is a classic round-case dress watch with an opaline dial; the Laureato is an integrated sports watch with a faceted octagonal bezel, both from Girard-Perregaux.
