Girard Perregaux

Good morning from the land of the rising sun ☀️ Japan🇯🇵 Osaka. I'm on holiday for the next 2 weeks. I shall pop by the Girard-Perregaux boutique later and hopefully see the new Laureato FIFTY 81008. I was at another GP store yesterday which is in good com...

I don't wear a blue suit with a blue shirt. Tacky. 😀 Nautilus, 222, Royal Oak, all had white date wheels for a reason. ...  

Btw, watches are not clothes : )

But they are certainly things ones wears. To each their own. : )

Good luck in your decision, and still an amazing watch nonetheless!

I can’t seem to find your number. I’ll DM you Best, Marc
