Girard-Perregaux Manual Wind 1950s
What pulls me to this one is the red-tinted steel hands against a dial that's stayed genuinely white, not the yellowed cream you get on most 1950s pieces this age. It's a manual-wind Girard-Perregaux Sport, and what I'm looking at is a clean, applied Roman numeral chapter with a sunken subsidiary seconds at six, all under a crystal that's still glass rather than replaced plastic. The lugs show a touch of brassing where the plating has thinned with handling, and the caseback has the light scuffing you'd expect from a watch that was worn rather than kept in a drawer. Winding it, the crown action feels tight and the second hand sweeps without catching. I've left it on a simple canvas strap so the case can be judged on its own terms. It suits someone who wants a dressy period piece to wear, not one to shelve.
Privatverkauf. Everything described above — case, dial, hands, lume, rate and service history — is agreed condition for this watch and I stand behind all of it. Beyond that, the watch is sold excluding liability for material defects, as is normal between private individuals for a vintage mechanical object of this age. That exclusion does not cover anything I have misdescribed or failed to disclose, and never covers injury or intent.
Fourteen days to return it for any reason — my own promise, not a statutory withdrawal right. Terms · How I describe condition
