Girard Perregaux

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 ...  

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.

A different colour atmosphere for the WG version would have create a larger difference between the two versions. Fx

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 ...  

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...

And the best is yet to come! Fx

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.

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 in person was at the watch store attached to The Westin Paris Place Vendome. Perhaps it's still there. Very beautiful timepiece.

I don't know why I only have pics with the silver dial. Fx
