Girard-Perregaux Ferrari Chronograph Watch

This item is a luxury chronograph wristwatch featuring a collaborative branding between the esteemed Swiss watchmaker Girard-Perregaux and the iconic automotive brand Ferrari. The watch case back, visible in the image, is constructed from polished stainless steel, giving it a classic and robust appearance. The case back is secured by four visible screws, indicating a well-sealed construction often associated with water-resistant watches, though the specific depth rating is not discernible. Engraved prominently at the top is 'Ferrari', with '1791' underneath, likely referring to the founding year of Girard-Perregaux (though 1791 is sometimes associated with other brands or specific movements, the founding of Girard-Perregaux itself dates to 1791 through Jean-François Bautte). A central, detailed engraving showcases the Ferrari 'Prancing Horse' logo within its shield emblem. Below this, 'SWISS' confirms its origin, and 'GIRARD-PERREGAUX' is elegantly curved along the bottom edge, affirming the manufacturer. The watch is fitted with a black leather strap, exhibiting a crocodile or alligator grain pattern, which adds a touch of sophistication. The strap shows visible signs of wear, particularly on the underside where it meets the case, suggesting regular use. The stitching on the strap appears intact, but the leather itself shows some creasing and possibly minor scuffing. The watch features two pushers on the side of the case, characteristic of a chronograph function, along with a fluted crown for time setting. The overall condition appears good for a pre-owned item, with expected minor surface scratches on the polished case back consistent with wear. The craftsmanship indicators point to a high-quality timepiece, a collaboration between two renowned luxury brands. The style period would likely be late 20th to early 21st century, reflecting the era of these brand partnerships.
