Girard Perregaux Split Second ( and Foudroyante ) Ref 9020. A sleeping marvel.
One of those Chronographs I would love to add in my collection, for its split ( and foudroyante ) second, for its movement based on a 7750 totally reworked by Jaquet Baume, and for its aesthetics.
A drawing of the movement:
Platinum ( our dear Sandgroper's one ) :
Our dear Madruid's one, in yellow gold with a stunning black dial and no lume on the hands:
The sporty version in titanium ( Credit picture unknown ) :
And in white gold ( Credit: Christies )
A bit thick ( around 15 mm if my memory serves me well ) but not that big ( 40 mm ) , these 9020 were issued in 1999.
Yes, truly sleeping marvels.
Best,
Nicolas

I love the design of the case. How it starts out 'small'' and goes to the thicker mid case and sides but not too thick. Google says this is a Ferrari LE? The split seconds looks like a bargain at the listed prices. But I do wonder how much a service would...
As for your " Ferrari question ", here is the answer:
Yes, expect to pay quite a sum for the service... ...
Nobody does it better
Great article. I like the titanium version a lot. If only they made this again, with a modern touch of silicon for the mainspring.

I was looking at the ones listed on Chrono24 and there are 2 gold ones with split seconds. One has lume, the other doesn't. Do you know if this is correct or possible or if there is some reasoning behind this?
!
Both are yellow gold. Can I post the links on here? I added the pictures just in case. The one with the lume is listed by a German dealer for 12.9k (no original box etc.), the other one (second picture) is listed for 17.9k. When I look at the case and lug...
My choice
would be the yellow gold version with the black dial and no lumed hands. I find the whole series very pleasing and absolutely timeless. Best Thomas
This is very much my taste. And it’s a bit of an anomaly
for me in that I like it on the bracelet better than on the strap.
After years of watch "playing"....
this is the only one that I consider a definite keeper. The look, the size, the dial, the layout, the proportion, the dome crystal, the complication, the reliability, the markers..... everything is just perfect. ...
