Catalogue Note
Girard-Perregaux and Ferrari celebrated their decade long collaboration with the Enzo Ferrari model and the Tribute to Enzo Ferrari Ref.99190, a timepiece well suited to the aesthetics and demands of Formula 1 racing. Made in a limited edition of 349 pieces, the watch features the firm's most coveted complication, three golden bridges tourbillon.
The original conception of the three gold bridges movement won first prize from the Neuchâtel Observatory in 1860. A tourbillon movement was showcased along three straight bridges, all set in parallel under which the movement below is also aligned. Suddenly the movement in its entirety became a work of art.
