The Girard-Perregaux 1966 Full Calendar – Ref. 49535-52-151-BK6A is a masterclass in horological elegance, blending timeless design with high-level complication in a remarkably refined package. Encased in polished 18K pink gold, its 40 mm diameter and slim 10.7 mm profile make it an ideal companion for both formal and sophisticated everyday wear. The subtly domed silvered opaline dial is thoughtfully laid out to display the full calendar complication with striking clarity: the day and month are presented via twin apertures beneath 12 o’clock, while a central blued steel hand with a crescent moon tip elegantly points to the date scale encircling the dial’s periphery. At the heart of this timepiece beats the in-house Caliber GP03300-0062, a self-winding mechanical movement operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz) and offering a minimum power reserve of 46 hours. Comprising 295 components and 27 jewels, this finely finished caliber is visible through the transparent sapphire case back, revealing Geneva stripes, beveled bridges, and a delicately engraved oscillating weight. The watch is fitted with a curved anti-reflective sapphire crystal and offers a water resistance of 30 meters (3 ATM), safeguarding its mechanical poetry from the elements. A hand-stitched black alligator leather strap with a matching 18K pink gold pin buckle ensures comfort and a luxurious finish. The 1966 Full Calendar is not simply a tool—it is a conversation between tradition and innovation, wrapped in warm gold and driven by mechanical sophistication. It is a timepiece for the collector who values not just function, but the quiet brilliance of craftsmanship refined over centuries.
