Thinning out the collection

I retired two-and-a-half years ago and since then have discovered new interests and time-consuming activities.
Therefore I have decided to thin out my assortment of collectibles, including my watch collection.
They will be offered on eBay or, if you are interested in anything, you can contact me directly.

Girard-Perregaux. A name synonymous with quality.

SOLD March 2015.
In June 2009 I was fortunate in picking up this lovely 1950s hand-wound Girard-Perregaux from a chap in Western Australia.

It belonged to his father and came complete with its original presentation box but minus the original (leather) watch band.

It has a stainless-steel case-back and front (the split is around the extreme circumference, the movement being accessed from the front), an acrylic "glass", slim gold hour, minute and second hands and a cream dial adorned with gold baton hour indices and raised "G-P" initials.

When I received the watch I did nothing more than wind it (30 clicks) and it ran for over 40 hours, keeping excellent time.

To service it I simply removed the front, cleaned and polished the acrylic crystal, lightly polished the case and fitted a new, black leather watchband with a silver-metal clasp.

The dial itself has a wonderful patina which, in my opinion, does nothing to detract from the overall appearance.

This G-P is a beautiful example of quality watchmaking.
