Oldies but goldies: Girard Perregaux platinum sets.
First of all, a set which made me dream, a lot... The Vintage 1945 Prestige Platinum Collection. It was circa 2002, and I had the pleasure to see two different sets. One with three platinum Vintage 1945, platinum case, ruthenium dial, the Chronograph, the...

True!
and for the 2599 Chrono, there are so many very nice options in other metals and other dials. BTW: the set shows nicely the size difference, as the Chrono is a tad smaller than the King Size. 2599: 31 x 30 mm King Size: 32 x 32 mm This may sound small, bu...
Correct about the size. I always felt more comfortable with the ...
