The Calibre GP09600-1620
The Calibre GP09600-1620 is a self-winding movement employing a micro-rotor located unobtrusively behind the barrel. The upper bridge, located at 12 o’clock, straddles the barrel, itself adorned with a hand-engraved white gold disc, delivering eye-catching reflections and bestowing a shimmering allure. Located beneath the central bridge, the wearer can see the hour wheel. The final bridge, positioned at the base of the dial, spans the tourbillon. Upholding Girard-Perregaux tradition, the tourbillon features a lyre-shaped tourbillon cage which, in this instance, is comprised of 79 components and weighs a mere 0.3g. The peerless finishing of the bridges includes mirror polishing throughout, save for their satin-finished sides.
