No stranger to haute horology, Girard-Perregaux first patented its three bridge movement in 1884. Since then, it has become a staple of the brands movement architecture and the three golden bridge are a signature house style that is reserved for its most special timepieces. While the first ‘modern’ three-bridge tourbillion from the brand dates to 1986, our present example dates to circa 1990. Presented in skeletonized form with excellent decoration on the three golden bridges, this limited edition is a testament to all the brand is capable of and is boldly modern, while respecting the heritage of the brands founder.
