A Vintage Girard Perregaux Feast.

I never saw so many vintage Girard Perregaux at the same time and place.

During our GTG, our two favourite GP fans came with a ton of marvels, showing the exciting diversity of this brand.

Deep Diver, how do you like it? Black with red accents, or green?

Or maybe with a more classical look, without bezel?

Alarms? Round or Tonneau?

Gyrodate? That is the third one I see and I am always fascinated by the dial and the way it displays the date:

Gyromatic inverted Arrow indexes, with which case and lugs?

Richeville, with date or no date? Here we saw the date " only ":

I must confess a certain fascination for this Richeville, even with the date. Very elegant!

And last but not least, a Dandy Watch, the Vintage 1994, Ref 2550. White Gold or Yellow Gold?

How charming is that one! I would well see myself wearing it while having a drink on a terrasse of a Café in Piazza San Marco, Venezia.

And I don't even mention the Olimpico Chronographs, and a few others.

The most amazing thing is that, generally, it is tough to find vintage GPs in such a good shape. Most of them are in poor condition, or with a repainted dial, or incorrect.

Here, you have the Creme de La Creme.

But only a small part of it...

Thanks to the fans of Girard Perregaux for such a convincing demonstration.

Best,

Nicolas

It was a pleasure to see you, my friend! :) Time for you to start to hunt vintage GP, eh? Best Blomman

Of course, the hunt must goes on, or start. ;) [nt]

seeing some of my watches captured by your camera is just fantastic. I'm going to build a Borat-proof photo studio and see if I can practice. A feast for the eyes. CC

Ok, let's trade my Borat Patent pending system for some of your marvellous watches. :))) [nt]

BUT: once I own the patent, I will need to charge you royalty for every photo :))) [nt]

Depends on what will be written in the contract. :) [nt]

I agree. Clear and sharp photos of some very desirable GPs! [nt]

I really like that tonneau alarm watch. I continue to learn on all of our forums :-)

Mutual feeling, my friend. That is the goal of our virtual home. ;) [nt]

We all learn from each other! :) Best, my friend Blomman

A huge thank you to this crazy team...

By: Mike H : April 15th, 2015-06:15

... for having given me the opportunity to see all these marvels "in flesh" ;-) Because for sure your pics are great Nico but... seeing these beauties in the metal is really different : you feel the history when you put them on the wrist, and as you said ...
