About the Girard-Perregaux 49534-52-R05-BB60

SJX describes the map as a miniature painting that takes about 17 hours with a very fine brush under a microscope. The movement is Girard-Perregaux's self-winding Calibre 3300.

It is one of three Chamber of Wonders watches, all in the same 40 mm pink gold case and all made in 18 pieces. The Pearl of Wonders (49534-52-R04-BB60) has a blue dial, and the Novus Orbis (49534-52-R06-BB60) a multicolour one. Against the regular pink gold 1966 40 on a black alligator strap (49555-52-132-BB60), the Terrestrial Map is a little slimmer, at 8.5 mm against 8.9 mm.
