Vintage 1960s Girard-Perregaux Cal 3009 Manual Wind 17J Dress Watch 34mm Box

About this watch

A vintage Girard-Perregaux dress watch from the 1960s. The dial has aged to a soft cream-to-champagne tone with fine speckling, and carries applied gold-tone baton markers and slender matching hands beneath a domed crystal.

The approximately 34mm silver-tone case has slender tapered lugs and a screw-down caseback marked "Stainless Steel Back" with the Girard-Perregaux logo. Inside is a signed Girard-Perregaux calibre 3009 manual-winding movement with 17 jewels and central seconds. It comes on a textured honey-tan leather strap, and a box is included.

Brand heritage

Girard-Perregaux traces its history to 1791, when Jean-François Bautte began making watches in Geneva, and takes its name from Constant Girard and Marie Perregaux, who established the firm in La Chaux-de-Fonds in 1856. It is one of the oldest Swiss manufactures, celebrated for the Tourbillon with Three Gold Bridges and for pioneering high-frequency movements in the 1960s. In the 1950s and 1960s the house produced a broad range of slim, understated dress watches with hand-wound and Gyromatic automatic movements, and manual-wind models such as this one represent its classic mid-century style.
