Its a Girard Perregaux 32a observatory chronometer, a pretty historically important watch. The 32a was the first ever 36k vph commercial wristwatch caliber. It was guaranteed to 2spd, the highest rating in history at the time and nearly so even today for a hairspring-regulated wristwatch. The observatory models were remarkable in particular for being commercially offered observatory chronometers, which was very uncommon, to put it mildly. This article lays out a little of the 32a history (it also gets some facts wrong; most material is that it claims there were only 662 32a watches, of which 40 were observatory certified; in fact there were 662 observatory certified chronometers, 40 in 1966 and 622 in 1967, and many more non-observatory 32a pieces).

My non-observatory 32a is in nicer shape, but is non-observatory and plated gold. It did come with the original boxes, certificate, manual, etc though.
