Title: Interesting Earlier Stainless Steel Girard Perregaux Automatic AS FOUND

Description: VERYGOOD condition. Very cool dial exactly like a dial Rolex used at about the same time which was probably late 1940's, maybe 1950. It is original and has a very unusual two part style of construction with raised Arabic numerals on evens and applied silver? or gold leaf at the indices. I don't think the Arabic's are radium but just paint like modern watches have today, thicker so it sits pretty high. But they could be old radium (actually what we all refer to as radium is radium-activated zinc sulphide) numbers, not sure. The steel case is constructed in Switzerland in two parts with a slotted, screw on back. Signed as you can see in our close-up photos. Click on the image to the left. The movement is only marked 84-2327 which is a bit odd since I can't seem to find any GP Calibers 84 or 2327. Although they didn't start making their own design until later with the Gyromatic, this should be marked under the balance bridge (not the import code on the bridge). It is a hammer or bumper wind with Incabloc shock resistance spring on the screw balance. I might have to let Wayne look it over. Is running good but this price reflects that we have not checked it out professionally with Wayne for dirt or problems. Crown is later but large and easy to grip. On a brand new DeBeer Paris tan leather strap. Measures 34 mm wide (not including the crown) x 42 mm long x 11 mm thick. {$290} Item #6032 SOLD
