The Gryomatic movement cal. 461-769 was Girard Perregaux’s in-house automatic winding system, designed in the 1950s and involves two Gyroton wheels that each contain 7 rubies that allowed the automatic winding system to run smoothly and without experiencing excessive wear and tear. The Gryomatic movements are highly regarded amongst enthusiasts for their reliability and accuracy.
