Notes

Note: The original series of 20 tourbillon watches constructed on the "three gold bridge" pattern were made by Girard Perregaux in the 1880's, with many of the carriages being constructed by Guinand. The present series, also limited to 20 pieces are manufactured to the same exacting quality standards, and although the last few have yet to he completed, all are sold.
