Girard-Perregaux 1966 Blue Dial Chronograph
To celebrate its 220th Anniversary this year, Girard-Perregaux is producing a blue-dialed version of its 1966 Chronograph. Paired with a white gold case, the main dial has a “sunray” pattern and the chronograph counters are also decorated (see close-up below), giving the watch somewhat more modern and refreshing look. This said, I’ve never been a big fan of this watch mostly because I feel the overall dial layout is a bit unbalanced (chrono counters are too centrally located). How about you? The Girard-Perregaux 1966 Blue Dial Chronograph price will be somewhere near $15,000 – $20,000.

In 1966, Girard-Perregaux received the Centenary Prize from the Neuchâtel Observatory in recognition of its research in the field of precision. The Girard-Perregaux 1966 collection pays tribute to this spirit of innovation, and has become an icon of the Brand.
