The Girard-Perregaux 1966 Blue Moon – Ref. 49545-11-432-BH6A is a poetic interpretation of time, where classic Swiss watchmaking meets celestial elegance. With its deep blue dial and refined moon phase complication, this timepiece speaks to those who appreciate both precision and the quiet romance of the night sky. Encased in stainless steel, the watch features a perfectly balanced 40 mm diameter and a slim 9.6 mm profile, making it ideal for discreet elegance on the wrist. The dial is a rich, sunburst blue—evocative of twilight—enhanced by polished leaf-shaped hands and applied baton hour markers that catch the light with every movement. At 6 o’clock, a beautifully rendered moon phase display rests within a circular subdial that also houses the small seconds, lending visual depth and a poetic heartbeat to the watch’s face. Beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz), it delivers both accuracy and elegance, with a power reserve of approximately 46 hours. The transparent sapphire crystal case back offers a view of the movement’s exquisite finishing—Côtes de Genève, circular graining, and an engraved oscillating weight—all hallmarks of Girard-Perregaux’s commitment to craftsmanship. Protected by a domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, and offering 30 meters of water resistance, the Blue Moon is suited for everyday wear while preserving the grace of a dress watch. It is paired with a deep blue alligator leather strap and A, Stainless steel pin buckle, completing the monochromatic elegance of the piece. The 1966 Blue Moon captures the essence of Girard-Perregaux’s enduring legacy—where technical mastery meets contemporary elegance. Its striking blue dial, refined moon phase complication, and superb mechanical execution make it a standout piece for the modern collector. With a presence that is both subtle and arresting, it speaks to those who value design with depth, function with flair, and tradition elevated by innovation. This is not merely a watch—it is a distinguished expression of character and craft.
