Lot Essay

Produced in 2010 as a homage to their retail partner Boucheron, eagle-eyed enthusiasts will note the numerals 26 at the 6 o’ clock position. This is a nod to the House of Boucheron in Paris (located at 26 Place Vendome). The story goes that while the Girard-Perregaux museum at La Chaux-de-Fonds was being renovated, the brand’s key pieces of interest found a home at Boucheron’s Place Vendome boutique. This timepiece was produced in a limited edition of 50 pieces in 18k white gold as well as pink gold.
