Girard Perregaux has been manufacturing watches since 1791, making them one of the oldest watchmakers in Switzerland. With a focus on haute horology, they are renowned fo💙r their unique bridge design, and their tourbillion models. The present reference 9930 happens to showcase both of those famous elements. Utilizing the case from their now-discontinued Richeville line of watches, the watch is fashioned in white gold with a silver hand guilloche dial with Roman Numeral indices. The centerpiece is the signature mirror polished bridge with a tourbillion cage. The dial proudly proclaims this watch as ‘Numero 2’, with the case back also stating its ‘No. 2’ status. A seldom seen reference from one of the last few large, independent watchmakers in Switzerland.
