First, the Wempe x Girard Perregaux collaboration:


Unfortunately, as much as I love this, it’s not a good fit:


With today’s visit, I thought GP was offering the copper dial in 42mm. Then, I realized it was the rose gold dial iteration:


Can’t see the date!

 
But, then I really became confused - a white dial 38mm Laureato!🤔


I figured this was NOS. But the sales associate said GP is slowly releasing different color options in 38mm. But I saw only the copper and the green ceramic in 38mm on GP’s site.🤷

I like their white dial Laureatos. You didn’t like the dial or the size?

I love everything about it, my friend!

These 38mm’s were discontinued. They brought it back with the copper dial and now green ceramic. I’m guessing this is a New Old Stock (NOS) piece despite what the SA stated.🥂

Awesome photos Mark, thanks for sharing!

The collaboration piece does more for me than the RG dial, but then again, I’m not there to see it in the metal like you. I owned that very white dial 38 mm Laureato. It was cool, but I didn’t end up bonding with it. Will let our resident GP expert SingaporeMarc weigh in, but it’s my understanding blue, grey and white dial 38 mm have been discontinued by GP. So the one you have there is most likely NOS! Cheers my friend!

Hey Mark, thanks for sharing.

Questions: - the 42mm looks like it wears big, was that your impression? - what’s up with those sub dials - i do like that dial color The 38mm look great on you, what were your thoughts overall?

I prefer the 38mm size, especially in the copper dial variant.

If the collaboration was 40mm, then it’s “take my money!” I’m still hoping that GP puts some effort into their Vintage 1945 line! Thanks, Larry!🥂
