When it was released in 1976, it was as revolutionary in its display as it was innovative in its design. The Cap watch by Girard-Perregaux is also a faithful reflection of a free and creative era, the 1970s. Its digital display and titanium case have made it a true timeless fashion engraving. The original Cap was produced from 1976 to 1978. During this period, Girard-Perregaux manufactured 8,200 examples of this innovative quartz watch. Girard-Perregaux, a manufacturer founded in 1791, was also at the forefront in the manufacture of quartz watches. In fact, the frequency of 32,768 Hz set by the House was subsequently adopted as the universal standard for quartz watches. Collectors affectionately nicknamed it the "Cap", a nickname that has entered the watchmaking vocabulary.

When it was reissued, not long ago, it did not take long for it to be out of stock and collector's item, since produced this time in only 820 copies. To the point of regretting, between its look and its price, not having seen brand produce and offer more to aficionados. Good news for those who missed it: today, Girard-Perregaux has partnered with Saint Laurent Rive Droite to produce a new interpretation of the iconic Cap. Anthony Vaccarello reissues this time this model in an alloy of black ceramic and titanium grade 5 treated black PVD. Still equipped with its digital LED display, its new quartz movement gives it additional features.
