and for the 2599 Chrono, there are so many very nice options in other metals and other dials.

BTW: the set shows nicely the size difference, as the Chrono is a tad smaller than the King Size.

2599: 31 x 30 mm
King Size: 32 x 32 mm

This may sound small, but in my opinion makes a big difference and the Chrono is a bit less wide and better proportioned, so I think it's the perfect size for a Vintage 45.

First of all, a set which made me dream, a lot... The Vintage 1945 Prestige Platinum Collection. It was circa 2002, and I had the pleasure to see two different sets. One with three platinum Vintage 1945, platinum case, ruthenium dial, the Chronograph, the...  

Great topic, Nicolas! :)

It is almost impossible to find other pics of the Vintage 45 set! The Manuf has some press material but in low resolution, and you don't see the watches very well. Incredible. And on the net, besides Antiquorum, almost nothing. Yes, please, share some of ... 

A couple of my dreams.....

I didn't know these existed, and you are right...little information on line. I did see one Richville set for sale...but quite the high price.

Ruthenium, yes. [nt]

the Vintage 45 Chronograph or the single bridge toubillon are the best of them all. On the Richeville PC I would prefer the Steel version with the all whte dial. Didn't know there was a set of 4 on the Vintage 45s with the Three Bridge Tourbillon. The Pla... 

We have the same preferences, my friend

Yes, I noticed that from time to time, the platinum Vintage 45 Chrono come for sale, and a strange white gold, with the same dial. If I am not wrong, there is one for sale, platinum, in Germany, and it's been here for years! The Tourbillon is top, too. We...

Chrono size ( 31 x 30 ), rather than the King Size. One of my very favourite modern GP! Best, Nicolas
