Object description

Case Construction and Ergonomics

The timepiece is a stainless steel wristwatch with a cushion-shaped case measuring 42 x 42 mm. The configuration incorporates dual crowns: the crown at two o'clock is used for setting the time, date, and second time zone, while the crown at four o'clock is dedicated to setting the alarm.

The source states the watch features a screw-down case back with a sapphire crystal viewing window. Note: The source text claims a 'screw-down' case back, but this description requires verification against the observed securing screws on the case back perimeter.

Evidence for this section
  • “42 x 42 mm”
  • “Crown at two o'clock for hand and date setting and second time zone setting. Second crown at four o'clock for setting the alarm.”
  • “Screw-down case back with sapphire crystal viewing window.”

Dial Configuration and Timekeeping

The black dial features fluorescent Arabic and dash indices, with fluorescent baton hands. Central seconds are indicated alongside a silver-coloured hand designed for setting the alarm.

The watch includes an aperture for a second time zone at the six o'clock position and a date display at the three o'clock position, accompanied by a magnifier.

Evidence for this section
  • “Black dial with fluorescent Arabic and dash indices.”
  • “Fluorescent baton hands with central seconds and silver-coloured hand for setting the alarm.”
  • “Aperture for the second time zone at six o'clock. Date at three o'clock.”

Movement and Provenance

The watch is powered by an automatic movement designated as calibre GP59. It is identified by reference number OP 6563 and case number BB1217002, with an individual limited edition number of I 309/500.

The watch is noted to be signed on the dial, crown, movement, case, bracelet, and clasp. It includes a leather strap with a double-folding clasp and was produced in Neuenburg, Switzerland, circa 2006.

Evidence for this section
  • “Automatic movement. Ref. OP 6563, cal. GP59, case no. BB1217002.”
  • “Individual no. I 309/500.”
  • “Dial, crown, movement, case, bracelet and clasp signed.”
  • “Neuenburg, Switzerland, c. 2006.”

Open research questions

  • Verify if the case back is truly screw-down or if the visible perimeter screws indicate a different attachment mechanism.
  • Clarify the relationship between the GP59 calibre designation and the specific manufacturer movement architecture.
