A Vintage Girard Perregaux Feast.
Apr 13, 2015,00:18 AM
I never saw so many vintage Girard Perregaux at the same time and place.
During our GTG, our two favourite GP fans came with a ton of marvels, showing the exciting diversity of this brand.
Deep Diver, how do you like it? Black with red accents, or green?
Or maybe with a more classical look, without bezel?
Alarms? Round or Tonneau?
Gyrodate? That is the third one I see and I am always fascinated by the dial and the way it displays the date:
Gyromatic inverted Arrow indexes, with which case and lugs?
Richeville, with date or no date? Here we saw the date " only ":
I must confess a certain fascination for this Richeville, even with the date. Very elegant!
And last but not least, a Dandy Watch, the Vintage 1994, Ref 2550. White Gold or Yellow Gold?
How charming is that one! I would well see myself wearing it while having a drink on a terrasse of a Café in Piazza San Marco, Venezia.
And I don't even mention the Olimpico Chronographs, and a few others.
The most amazing thing is that, generally, it is tough to find vintage GPs in such a good shape. Most of them are in poor condition, or with a repainted dial, or incorrect.
Here, you have the Creme de La Creme.
But only a small part of it...
Thanks to the fans of Girard Perregaux for such a convincing demonstration.
Best,
Nicolas
