- Identity and Case Construction
- Catalogued as reference 4980 WT.CC, this Girard-Perregaux wristwatch features an 18k white gold case measuring 43 mm in diameter. The catalog notes that the reverse is fitted with a sapphire crystal display back secured by six screws, bearing case number OG No. 995, with the case, dial, and movement all recorded as signed. External controls include crowns situated at both the 3 and 9 o'clock positions. The crown at 3 o'clock is flanked by rectangular chronograph pushers, and the piece is fitted with a navy blue alligator-embossed leather strap paired with a reported 18k white gold Girard-Perregaux buckle.
- Dial Configuration and Functions
- The black dial organizes timing and dual-time displays across multiple registers. Visible features include three sub-dials positioned at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock, alongside a date window angled between the 1 and 2 o'clock positions. Encircling the dial are two outer tracks: an inner 24-hour ring divided into red (day) and blue (night) sections, and an outer revolving bezel marked with major world cities.
- Movement and Documentation Caveats
- According to the auction house description, the internal mechanism is the 63-jewel automatic caliber 3387, numbered 04’007. The production date is stated as circa 2005. Because the provided photograph only shows the front three-quarter view, the movement, case back, and buckle are not directly visible in the image. Furthermore, the catalog explicitly notes 'Box: no' and 'Papers: no'.
