When the name Girard-Perregaux appears, most collectors would almost immediately picture a wristwatch with “Three Golden Bridges”. Holding a special place in the history of watchmaking, a watch with three bridges with a tourbillon won the chronometry prize at the Neuchâtel Observatory in 1867. Since then, the iconic three bridges became the logo for Girard-Perregaux. Though most may think that the bridges were implemented for aesthetical purposes, it is believed that the design and construction of the three bridges were implemented to ensure a higher level of accuracy for the tourbillon.

Fast forward to the 20th century, the “Three Golden Bridges” remain as an iconic trait in Girard-Perregaux timepieces often proudly displayed and implemented in the movement. The present timepiece is a fantastic example of the monumental feature in pink gold. With a semi-skeletonized dial, the three bridges securing the barrel, hands and tourbillon escapement is with no doubt a pleasing sight to behold enabling a perfectly symmetrical layout of the dial and movement architecture.

The present example from circa 1993 is presented in attractive overall condition and is accompanied by the original certificate.
