This limited edition integrates a full calendar displaying the date, day of the week, month and moon phases.Time moves fluidly around its perfectly-proportioned dial. Accompanying the path traced by its fine, leaf-shaped hands, two windows placed side-by-side at 12 o'clock display the day of the week and the month. The moon follows its path at 6 o'clock, ornamenting the date indicator. Beautiful symmetry, optimal readability: the Girard-Perregaux 1966 Full Calendar satisfies the most refined tastes in terms of both pure design and distinctive style. On the back, the sapphire case-back reveals the GP033M0 mechanical self-winding movement designed by the Manufacture.With its incomparable whiteness, the palladium case emphasises the outstanding character of these timepieces, available in only 199 numbered pieces. Part of the platinum family, this metal is twenty times less abundant than gold, and more resistant. Palladium is a rare metal much sought after for its numerous qualities. In particular, it does not require any rhodium plating, nor does it tarnish. This makes it the ideal metal for a watch with timeless character, such as the Girard-Perregaux 1966.

After Girard-Perregaux gave the world amazing watches like the Opera one and the Opera Three (which is touted to be on of the most expensive watches) they have now come up with a new variant of the Opera three. This one comes in a small music box that has a keyboard with 20 blades which is can be played through a spinning drum that has 150 hand-mounted pins. What that means is that every time the watch completes an hour, the watch will play Tchaikovsky or Mozart, instead if annoying beeps. A collector's item, the watch saw first light in 2002 and comes with a platinum case and alligator skin strap. It was last priced at $532,000, making it the third most expensive watch in the world![OhGizmo]
