Nice to see these variations ...
... on the 1966 Chronograph theme. Thanks for the live pictures, FX and for the press release, Nico.
While I would have preferred a softer orange, these dials are certainly dramatic. I like the fonts and the overall dial proportions.
And for an automatic watch to work optimally on the wrist you need to check your pulse occasionally.

My view on the GP 1966 Chronograph "Doctor's Watch"
This is a nice surprise proposed by Girard-Perregaux at the end of the first quarter of the year with a new interpretation of the 1966 Chronograph which has been created in the context of a limited series of 10 PG and 10 WG watches for Dubail, the famous ...
A successful variant...
It would, however, be very interesting to see a blue rather than red/orange theme used for the WG version. First world problem! Cheers, pplater.
Yes, it is a valid point.
A different colour atmosphere for the WG version would have create a larger difference between the two versions. Fx
Please find a picture of a Vintage GP "Doctor"s Watch"
I found it on the Web: You can notice a similar dial lay-out but also some differences like the 45mn minutes counter with an highlight on the first 3 minutes sections. Credits: Antique Scientifica Fx ...
It's a winner
I like this version better than the current 1966 40mm. As you point out, the inner orange circle is a significant improvement in helping the dial look more balanced as the min/sec counters are quite close together. Well done GP... too bad it is only for D...
Thanks Option!
So take the opportunity of an upcoming trip to France to see it! ;) fx
As for the language, GP did what UN did, and Patek does: The choice of french.
I quite like this watch. The only resereve I have, and I share your point, is about the auto movement, too small, and the orange ring, a tad too large, and was it necessary to choose this color, which contrasts too much with a Vintage watch which doesn't ...
I'm sure that a blue circle would have been fantastic with the WG version.
About the inner circole, I find its thickness fine for my taste. Thanks for your comments! Fx

Thanks Andrew!
I often wear a Pulsimetric watch and it is really useful! Especially when I see a beautiful lady... ;) fx
Finally!
I am glad to read your post! We all have been waiting for the GP wakeup ! They look great! Thank you! TGV
Looks good!
I do have to say, I like the GP chronograph with the blue face more aesthetically. But I do think this one has a nice vintage look.
I think that the blue 1966 chronograph is the most beautiful...
You are right Patrick! What a superb watch! I realize that I've never taken pics of it, such a shame! Fx
The last one I saw...
The last one I saw in person was at the watch store attached to The Westin Paris Place Vendome. Perhaps it's still there. Very beautiful timepiece.
Thanks Nicolas, it is a beautiful pic for a poor attempt!
I don't know why I only have pics with the silver dial. Fx
