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

seeing some of my watches captured by your camera is just fantastic. I'm going to build a Borat-proof photo studio and see if I can practice. A feast for the eyes. CC

Damn – you're not kidding!

I really like that tonneau alarm watch. I continue to learn on all of our forums :-)

That is the beauty of Purists! :)

We all learn from each other! :) Best, my friend Blomman

A huge thank you to this crazy team...

... for having given me the opportunity to see all these marvels "in flesh" ;-) Because for sure your pics are great Nico but... seeing these beauties in the metal is really different : you feel the history when you put them on the wrist, and as you said ... 

Likewise

seeing your marvels have been a truly remarkable experience. Very sophisticated taste! I would not have chosen any different. CC

Mike, I see a Deep Diver in your future! ;)

It was a pure pleasure to see you again, my friend! :) To be repeated soon I hope! Best Blomman

Of course, in the real, they are even better.
