Girard Perregaux 49851 WW.TC Los Angeles Edition SS Gray Dial LIMITED

The Girard-Perregaux WW.TC Los Angeles Edition reference 49851 is a highly collectible expression of the brand's World Wide Time Control platform, produced circa 2008 for the Los Angeles market in a limited series of 60 pieces. Housed in stainless steel, the 41mm case is notably slim for a mechanical world timer, giving the watch a refined profile that distinguishes it from many larger contemporary travel watches. Its gray dial pairs a city ring with a 24-hour scale and local time display, while the Los Angeles designation is highlighted to underscore the edition's geographic identity. A power reserve indicator adds practical utility and visual depth, reinforcing the technical character of the WW.TC architecture. Inside is the automatic Girard-Perregaux caliber GP033G0.9, a manufacture movement respected for combining world time functionality with a balanced, wearable case format. The movement and display layout reflect the period when Girard-Perregaux was producing some of the most elegant mechanically sophisticated travel watches outside the usual mainstream names. As a city-specific limited edition, the Los Angeles variant carries added appeal for collectors seeking uncommon regional executions rather than standard production references. The restrained monochromatic palette gives the watch a more contemporary presence than many earlier world timers, while preserving the brand's classical emphasis on legibility and mechanical substance. For buyers focused on niche modern complications, the WW.TC Los Angeles Edition stands out as a scarce and thoughtfully executed reference from an important chapter in Girard-Perregaux's modern catalog. Excellent Condition, with Girard-Perregaux box and papers dated 2008. This piece was just fully serviced by Girard-Perregaux in Q2/2026.
