Girard-Perregaux Triple Bridge Tourbillon

About the Watch

First unveiled in 1991 at Baselworld, the Girard-Perregaux Tourbillon Sous Trois Ponts D’Or made a powerful impression on the watchmaking world. This watch features the brand's distinctive "three bridges" design, which holds each key component of the movement in place with a harmonious layout. The mainspring barrel at 12 o'clock is secured by the top bridge, while the center bridge anchors the hour and minute hands, and the lower bridge supports the tourbillon escapement. It's thought that these three bridges symbolize the Holy Trinity—the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This particular model, crafted in platinum somewhere after 1993, is among the earliest examples of the design. With a sleek and wearable 39mm round case, the watch showcases the iconic golden bridges, recognizable from afar. Accompanied by its Certificate of Authenticity and original presentation box, this Girard-Perregaux tourbillon wristwatch stands as a truly striking piece, combining historical significance with exceptional value.
