Introduced in 1991 at Baselworld, the Girard-Perregaux Tourbillon Sous Trois Ponts D’Or is a grand statement to the industry from the firm. With a visually striking dial depicting its iconic “three bridges”, securing all its components of the movement, the symmetrical layout features a mainspring barrel at 12 O’clock secured by the top bridge, the center bridge secures its hours and minutes hands and the third bridge beneath holds the tourbillon escapement. It is believed that the three bridges have a meaning inspired by the Holy trinity, father, son and the Holy Spirit.

The present example in platinum from circa 1993, belongs to the very first model. With an attractive and comfortable 39mm round-shaped case, the three golden bridges fitted inside can be spotted from a mile away. Complete with its Certificate of Authenticity and its original presentation box, the present Girard-Perregaux tourbillon wristwatch is with no doubt a superbly attractive example and further offered in attractive value.
