We have had the Ref. 49526 38mm Small Seconds in the 1966 collection in rose gold (LE 100 pieces) and palladium (LE 199 pieces) and GP have now released an updated 41mm version (the Ref. 49543) in a RG case with a delicious cognac coloured dial with a bru...  

But who needs the text "Automatic"? Best, Kari

I much prefer this one, much more balanced: Thanks Andrew! Fx ...  

That one is hard to beat! :) Best Blomman

There are much more appealing Vintage 66 than this one... Best, Nicolas.

No doubt the 40mm Ref. 49534 you show is beautiful, symmetrical and classical with the enamel dial and blued hands. But sometimes you need asymmetry and tension. The new Small Seconds with date is a wholly modern take on the 1966 idea. The chocolate cogna...  

I love assimetry (Lange 1, Millenary and so on...). The trouble is that the movement is too small for the case and with the second hand subdial, too close to the center, you see it. Sorry but I stay with my initial choice! Thanks Andrew! Fx

Gotta to see this in the flesh. Thanks for the pictures. Do u also have more on he movement ? Thanks

I photographed the prototype watch and don’t have any images of the movement, Flamenco. But GP are telling us that the Calibre GP01890-0003 is an automatic with 54h PR, 28 jewels, 28800 vph and a rose gold rotor on display through a sapphire case back. An... 

I like these new 1966 variants. I cannot say for sure if I would prefer the cognac dial without seeing it in flesh, but the layout and subtle changes are a nice modern rework of the classic 1966.

More shots of the versatile RG with silvered dial version (Ref. 49543-52-131-BKBA) ...  

Awful, sorry but this is my opinion. Don't think necessarily that the case is too large but the layout with the date at one end and the small second so close to the centre is absolutely not appealing to me. The 1966 small second with enamel dial which Fla... 

... You're not the only person to react this way to the watch in photos. I would be very interested in your opinion of the watch when you handle one in a Boitique. As a departure from the usual 1966 aesthetic I really did like this watch. Remember to revi... 

This one is not my "cup of tea", based on this weird dial layout. Cheers, Nilo

Movement too small for the case...again. GP is stricken with this disease lately. Patek and VC are no better. Lange finally fixed the Grande Lange 1.

The information from GP on this new Cal. GP01890-0003 is that the movement is a large 13.25 ligne ( 30.6mm), the same size as the GP4500 family. While we might have qualms about the 10.5 ligne (23.9mm) GP030C0 in the 40mm 1966 Chronograph, I don't think t...  

Agree with Nicolas and Marcelo. The subdial is too close to the center, plus the date spoils the dial, especially the white against the warm champagne. Maybe if the background of the date disc was similar to the dial, it might look slightly better. My per... 

From the comments in this thread the position of the seconds subdial is clearly going to take some getting used to but, just to be clear, it is unrelated to the size of the movement which, as I mentioned above, is 13.25 Ligne and perfectly fitted to the 4...  

GP tell me that the new 1966 Small Seconds with Date should start to arrive in the dealer network in April. Again I think it is impressive how quickly GP get these new models out to customers after the launch. Girard-Perregaux 1966 Small Seconds and Date ...  

but this is a stunning addition to the line. Love the chocolate dial! Thanks for sharing:) J
