Girard Perregaux World Timer Chronograph WW.TC 49805-52-251-BACA 18k RG

Founded in 1791 and best known for their fine watches, Girard Perregaux are one of the oldest watchmakers in the world that are still in operation. Over the many decades of their long-running history, Girard-Perregaux has become synonymous with interesting design, impressive craftsmanship, and beautiful timepieces. Offered as a utility-rich dress watch, the Girard-Perregaux World Time Chronograph ref. 49805 combines, as its name mentions, a world time function with a chronograph and a date function to create a watch that fulfils just about any need that a modern-day business traveller would require of their watch, with its list of 24 cities, its 12-hour chronograph and its date function at 1:30 all situated on its stunning two-tone grey and white dial. Offered in a 43mm 18kt rose gold case that stands 13.9mm tall, the ref. 49805 isn’t a small watch but considering the list of functions it offers, it is smaller than one might expect, thanks to the impressive automatic cal. 3387 that powers it. THE DIAL Featuring a stunning grey dial, the New York edition of the ref. 49805's display is jam-packed with utility, such as its eponymous world time complication, its date aperture at 1:30 and its three subdials that feed its chronograph function and running subseconds. THE CONSTRUCTION In keeping with its complex movement and function-packed dial, the ref. 49805's 18kt rose gold case is appropriately busy, with two pushers and two crowns at 9 and 3 o'clock.
