Overall Impression
The watch introduced here is a vintage Girard-Perregaux dress watch distinguished by its champagne gold sunburst dial and black onyx crown.
The softly rounded rectangular case features a series of engraved decorations running along its sides, adding subtle depth to an otherwise simple design.
The dial changes expression depending on the light, shifting from a subdued champagne tone to a brighter shade of gold.
The bar indexes and slender hands complement the overall design well, giving the watch a carefully balanced appearance.
Another distinctive detail is the black onyx crown.
Although small, the black onyx serves as a subtle visual accent, helping to define the overall design.
The decorative case sides and the brushed finish on the case back give the exterior a consistent and well-balanced appearance.
Movement
This watch is powered by the Cal. 101.
Please note that this is a different movement from Jaeger-LeCoultre’s miniature Cal. 101.
It is a 17-jewel manual-winding movement with the simple construction typical of vintage dress watches.
Conclusion
This watch combines a champagne gold sunburst dial with a black onyx crown.
The soft champagne gold tone and the black onyx create a subtle yet memorable combination, making this a watch whose beauty can be appreciated in the finer details.
The balanced proportions of the elongated case and the atmosphere created by its subtle decorative details also stand out, offering a glimpse of the understated character of vintage Girard-Perregaux.
