For sale is a rare 1970s Girard Perregaux Quartz. The watch is in very good condition, featuring a gorgeous blue dial and stainless steel case. Contrary to what most enthusiasts think, the first commercially-available quartz watch wasn’t the joint collaboration between Patek Philippe, Rolex, and other brands. It was actually Girard Perregaux who reached the market first with the 350 series of movements, developed in partnership with Motorola. Moreover, Girard Perregaux and Motorola’s movement was also the first quartz-powered watch with a frequency of 32,768 kHz, which is still the industry standard today. The Beta 21-based movement beat was several times slower, at 8,192 Hz. **Details & More** **Condition:** Good. Minor scratches on the case and crystal. See the pictures for a better description. **Case size:** 38.7 x 43.7mm stainless steel case. **Movement:** Girard Perregaux 351-513, quartz. **Other information:** * Includes a Watch Garage full grain leather strap ($85). Price: Asking 510$. Add 80$ for worldwide shipping via UPS. [Pictures](https://imgur.com/a/di9QcMe) [Timestamp](https://imgur.com/a/9DvPfFq)

	Established:	1791
	Website:	https://www.girard-perregaux.com/en
	Country of Origin:	Switzerland

In 1791, watchmaker and goldsmith Jean-François Bautte signed his first watches. He created a manufacturing company in Geneva grouping, for the first time ever, all the watch making facets of that time, which meant starting from the engineering of the watch all the way to the final hand assembly and hand polishing of each watch. In 1852, the watchmaker Constant Girard founded the Girard & Cie Firm in La Chaux-de-Fonds. He, then, married Marie Perregaux and the Girard-Perregaux Manufacture was born in 1856. In 1906, Constant Girard-Gallet, who took over control of the Manufacture from his father, took over the Bautte House and merged it with Girard-Perregaux & Cie. Since then, the brand has pursued its activities by reinforcing from the 1980s its position in the domain of prestigious mechanical watches, Haute Horlogerie, under the lead of Luigi Macaluso. In 2011, Sowind Group, the holding incorporating Girard-Perregaux, became a subsidiary of Kering.

Constant Girard produced the first ever major commercial production of a wristwatch, made for German naval officers and ordered by German Kaiser Wilhelm I. The Manufacture has approximately 80 patents in the watch-making domain and is the originator of many innovative concepts.
