The Richeville history - Intro
By: blomman Mr Blue : December 29th, 2014-01:08
Friends, Earlier this year I promised you to talk about the Richeville family and the origin of the line... As you know, my autumn/winter was quite stressful and the time for deeper research was not allowed. But, a promise is a promise, so I would like to...
Thank you
By: crown comfort : December 29th, 2014-02:18
my friend for all those details you found. Another report to print out and store in my archive. I have had a few attempts to get a steel vintage Richeville, even one Chronometer, but did not get it at the end. I do have my gold-plated Richeville. The only...
The Richeville is hard to find....
By: blomman Mr Blue : December 29th, 2014-13:01
Especially in good condition. Like many other vintage GP's... Hopefully I will find more information during 2015! Best, my friend Blomman
Agreed on the difficulty
By: crown comfort : December 29th, 2014-13:38
to find one of those vintage Richevilles, but as always patience will pay off in the end. My very last buy this year was a vintage GP, not a Richeville but with the same classic case. I'm very thrilled on that but I will not say more for now. ;) One of my...
Intriguing! :)
By: blomman Mr Blue : December 29th, 2014-13:41
So, you started to influence your family! :) Looking forward to the reports! Best Blomman
For sure!

if anything there's got to be something to learn from Dad ;) First daughter already was given a Vintage 45 Lady this year, and in May the second one will receive her first GP!
Steel automatic richeville GP
By: siebe7kooystra : July 12th, 2020-04:41
I got from my grandfather a watch hè bought near Brussel. No box, no wristband. He was a pensioned director of Philips and worked in Brussel. The watch says : Girard Perregaux automatic ...it has a tower beneath with Richeville written... is it valuable ?...
Excellent, Blomman. That is a great trio to get!
By: amanico : December 29th, 2014-02:58
The two no date are, of course, my favourite, but the Date version is very nice, too, and I would not complain finding one. 1964, you said? Hmmm.... ;) Best, Nicolas
No date from 1964...? Are you trying to tell me something...?! ;)
By: blomman Mr Blue : December 29th, 2014-13:04
If I understand it correctly, the Richeville series was only manufacture during 1964-1965 or 1966. But I am still trying to get confirmation on that detail, that is why I didn't put it in the review. Personally I prefer the more classic case shape of the ...
Trio Fantasticus my friend

Soon your GP collection will surpass JLC ;) Yours Damjan
LOL! Not even close....
By: blomman Mr Blue : December 29th, 2014-13:27
I guess I need 15 years to get even... But then again, my pace is faster now than it was before.... So maybe in 5-7 years?! ;) Thank you, my friend! Best Blomman
I think parallel....
By: blomman Mr Blue : December 29th, 2014-13:31
Definitely the non-chronometer/chronometer ref 8444 was parallel. Of the 5600 ref 8444 a unknown number was COSC certified. I don't know the production number of the ref 8445 and I don't know if it existed in non-chronometer, but I suspect it did. Thank y...
Thank you, ALB!

Yes, so many nice pieces to discover in the GP Universe! :) Best Blomman
Bellisimi !!!
By: robert11a2001 : December 30th, 2014-03:20
Davvero bellissimi orologi, complimenti Lodevole anche l'iniziativa di studiare referenze e caratteristiche di questo interessantissimo Gp. Non mi risulta che qualcuno l'abbia mai fatto prima con il rigore e la passione di Blomman. Ho trovato una scatola ...
WOW! Giuseppe, thank you for joining! :)

Flat dial - Pie-pan dial
By: robert11a2001 : December 30th, 2014-06:41
Si , penso che non ci sia una relazione tra quadrante e movimento. Ecco la brochure del concessionario Gp della Martinica ( una cosa secondo me fantastica ) che lo dimostra Non ci sono molte varianti di quadrante in Richeville e anche la shape della cassa...
Great document!
By: blomman Mr Blue : December 30th, 2014-09:54
Yes, this shows clearly that there is no connection between dial type and Chronometer. Thank you very much, my friend! Best Blomman
What a feast for the eye..
By: crown comfort : December 30th, 2014-06:07
the black dial Richeville is to die for. The translation said that you "found a box" LOL. Since this post I have been roaming in my apartment looking for boxes... Arghh, nothing so far. Best Regards, CC

By: robert11a2001 : December 30th, 2014-06:53
" trovato in una scatola" è un'espressione scherzosa per dire che dovrei mettere un po' d'ordine nella mia collezione. A volte, raramente, mi succede di trovare un'orologio che non ricordavo di avere : è molto gratificante. E' invece dammatico e succede m...
Same here....
By: blomman Mr Blue : December 30th, 2014-09:57
I do find some boxes I forgot about, but no one with a full Richeville collection in it! ;) Best Blomman
