Girard Perregaux Vintage 45 Mechanics Of Art. Steel or Rose Gold?

Nov 24, 2014,03:41 AM
 

Since we had the possibility to see 2 versions of the Vintage 45 Mechanics of Art in the flesh, and while I am pretty sure our Blomman will come back to this Watch, I couldn't resist to share these 2 pictures with you.

The stainless steel:

 

The Rose Gold:


 

2 pictures which raise a question: Which one do you prefer?

A surprising question I aksed to myself, since it is well known that I am a white metal case guy, but I must admit that the rose gold made a strong impression on me.

The rose gold brings a better and very pleasant contrast, moreover it blends tradition and modernity in a very interesting way.

The steel is colder, " darker " too, certainly more modern.

I surprised myself to love both of them. Even if I am pretty sure I would go for the steel, as you cannot fight against your real nature.

I also think I will very probably add a modern GP in my " collection ". Because I love the brand, and more importantly, I love their watches.

Now, I am hesitating among two or three of them.... This one is in the list.

Bravo, GP.

Best,

Nicolas.

Probably steel, but...

while this is a new and intriguing offer from GP, I probably stick with my Steel in King Size case as it already wears big on my wrist. I do prefer the black background of the large date, but I guess I cannot have everything :) CC ...  

Both are stunning! :)

Splendid both.. I still stick to ss.. More Art Deco & cool.. But can understand RG lovers

.. The RG lovers will like the warmer "aura", and maybe an optical illusion of additional depth.. apart from the attractiveness of the RG case, indices etc For me, the ss-version is closer to Art Deco, a style I really love , and yes - pretty über-cool .....
