Rare Vintage 60's Era Girard-Perregaux Alarm in Working Condition

This is one of the most unique pieces I have in my entire collection...I just haven't had the time to put into restoring the whole thing.

I only came into this watch recently, but I would imagine this thing has quite a history.

The crystal is cracked and the face is slightly discolored due to time. Should look great with a new face on it though.

The ALARM function is still fully functional and keeps pretty good time considering its age. Mechanical, hand-winding movement.

The top crown is for setting the alarm, while the bottom is for the time.

By turning the top crown you can choose when the alarm should ring.

Despite not having a battery, when the time is reached where the alarm is set, the entire watch vibrates and gives off an audible ring.

Comes with a generic faux-croc skin band.

Pristine models consistently sell for over $1000 on eBay and the forums.

Get mine for only $399 shipped. EMAIL ME HERE if you're interested!

Just uploaded a video to YouTube of the movement and alarm function:

Be sure to click the gear and adjust the settings to 1080 to get the best picture.
