G-P Cal 86 wrist photos
Here are two wrist shots of my very vintage G-P as promised. Note domed crystal. To gauge the size, the strap is 19mm at the lugs. Further delay unfortunately because I will have to search for the book entry and scan the page for tomorrow UK time as I am away from home. PeterCDE wrote a few years ago on here an interesting long article about the calibre 86 G-P movement and its comparison with the Mimo FE86.
There is a number 936944 inside the case back and the movement has the reference 86 4213. The movement seems to have been imported and cased in USA.

Found this Girard Perregaux in my draw-- had for a long time
SS & Gold plated-- has a nice look....
Yes, in NYC when I was working in there in 1985. There was a man who came in the office
who sold and repaired watches. He showed it to me and I purchased it. Forgot the price. Still keeps good time.
Very elegant looking watch!
Congratulation on your 300 post! Very elegant looking watch! May I ask you also to post a profile shot or wrist shot to give us more info on the case shape? Best Blomman
Thanks, will do shortly--- lunch first.

Very, very elegant! :)
Looks like 1940s Art Deco, similar to the more famous Vintage 1945! Congrats to a very nice watch! Best Blomman
Trying to find another like it.
The gold portion of the watch is fitted over the lugs. Does not state gold anywhere. Will take photos of caseback tomorrow . Thanks.
Possible Gold Filled
I saw this kind of case before, will check my HD for photos... Best Blomman
Very interesting
The Gold Cap looks quite thick. Cay you find any reference number either on the case back or between the lugs at 6? Best Blomman
G-P Caliber 86
Mine says hello! Supposed to date from 1938, but I'm not so sure - I have an old book that shows similar up to 1950's. Case is all 14ct gold. Keeps good time. Not worn much and is small for my small wrist. Seems G-P had a fashion for hidden lugs. I am at ...

Book reference to G-P cal 86
Here is a slightly fuzzy picture of the G-P calibre 86 indicating the date as circa 1948. Maybe the watch was in production for a long while from 1938? My book is Complete Price Guide to Watches by Tom Engle, Richard E Gilbert and Cooksey Shugart 2013 (33...
According to GP records the caliber 86 was ...
In production between 1937 - 1955. Most likely this version originates from 1944. Best Blomman
5254 : il mio preferito
La referenza è 5254 , questo Gp è tra i miei preferiti. Le linee sono fantastiche , meriterebbero di essere riprese nella produzione attuale. Qui una rara ( veramente molto rara ) versione AMPHIBIAN . Cassa con clamps ( fare sempre molta attenzione alla c...
Ah, Giuseppe! Thank you for this detailed explanation! :)
It has been too long since we saw you here, hope all good, my friend! What a fantastic collection you have! Indeed, to be a GP collector is hard and takes time to find good information. Thank you for sharing yours! Best Blomman
