The Girard-Perregaux 1966 Orion (Ref. 49555-11-435-BB4A) is a breathtaking expression of celestial elegance, paying homage to the vast beauty of the night sky while staying true to the timeless sophistication of the 1966 collection. Encased in a sleek 40mm black DLC-coated stainless steel case, this limited edition timepiece stands out with its enchanting black aventurine dial—a rare and shimmering surface that mirrors the star-studded expanse of the Orion constellation. The dial’s glittering effect is not only mesmerizing but also completely unique to each piece, making every watch a one-of-a-kind representation of the cosmos. Rhodium-plated baton hour markers and faceted dauphine hands elegantly contrast the sparkling backdrop, enhancing legibility without detracting from the dial’s minimalist purity. A discreet date window at 3 o’clock maintains the balance of the design, offering a subtle touch of functionality within the poetic composition. Inside, the Orion is powered by the in-house GP03300-0132 automatic movement, renowned for its reliability, refined architecture, and hand-finished details. With a 46-hour power reserve and a beautifully decorated rotor, the movement is visible through a sapphire crystal case back, allowing the wearer to appreciate the meticulous craftsmanship that defines Girard-Perregaux. Completing the design is a black alligator leather strap secured with a matching DLC-coated folding buckle, ensuring a comfortable and secure fit. With water resistance up to 30 meters, the 1966 Orion is a perfect companion for those who value artistry, sophistication, and a subtle sense of mystery. Whether worn as an everyday statement or reserved for special occasions, it is a refined piece that quietly captures attention and leaves a lasting impression.
