I read your old post on it
Where you mentioned La Joux Perret. But I never found anything else to indicate so.
I always thought that GP developed this entirely in-house.
They had done other work with La Joux Perret for the 9020 and such I know.
But this one … I’m not sure.
Would you know of any other documents or such that say it was developed with La Joux Perret?

GP Abarth has arrived
Friends, It finally arrived today. I’m excited to have the GP Abarth in my hands. As usual, I had to beg the original owner (a reclusive and profilic collector) to let me have it. 😅 It’s on its orginal bracelet and I’ll be trying it on its leather strap s...

Wow - a spectacular piece I never knew existed 👌🏻👍🏻
And way before the modern relaunch of Abarth as a sub-brand of Fiat 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Enjoy your new addition 😊👍🏻
They did a good job..
that is a good looking watch. Not usually a fan of chronos but the details are all good here. Great catch.
Stunning.
I had the car but not the watch! Is it the same reference as the Fiat 30 year? It is so beautiful. Congratulations
Very nice. The color of the dial is similar with the cooper dial of 38mm laureato :) albeit in matte finish.
Maybe you indeed like copper dial...but not in the form of laureato . Great catch.
Ha ha, maybe … 😄
Thank you. Maybe it’s the flat dial I like in this milk chocolate flavor more. 🤝
Big Congratulations!
This Abarth I didn't know before but it is superb! Much nicer without the date and such a great dial color. The case size and sensual lugs are outstanding. Your begging was worth it! LOL! M4
Agree. It pairs well
The japanese worked with the Macalusos to design this one. They got it right. 🤝
What a nice find!
A GP without a date! Like many other people, I had never heard about or seen that one before, thanks for sharing!
Thanks Roger🤝
I’ve added some more pics in the comments. GP neo vintage has some gems. I encourage all to explore before the rest of the world knows … 🤫 🤝 ...
Congrats! What a unique and fantastic dial color.
This one deserves to be in your collection, Marc.
Thanks Michael 🤝
Wonder why GP has not really used this color that much. Seems to have lots of love ❤️ 🤝 ...
Oh wow... great catch.
The regular 4946 is quite attractive, but yours takes it to another level. Congrats and enjoy the beauty, Marc.
Thanks very much Goh.
Always to hunt and finally be rewarded. I’m so pleased with this one. Are you from Singapore as well? 🤝
Nice. I’m Singaporean
We are going to have another coffee meetup soon. You are welcome to join as well. 🤝
Wonderful marvel!
This watch is stunning. Beautiful wrist presence and a very “special” dial colour. GP’s bracelet is - as always - highest quality. There’s something missing… Aaah, the white (terrible) date window. Never mind. 🤣 This watch should be a keeper in your colle...
Congrats!
I was also hunting for a neo-vintage GP, although not even close to Abarth's rarity. rarity. ...
That’s nice as well. The 2710
With the Lemania 1872 chronograph. It’s the one to get and hard to find on bracelet. Congratulations on your find. GP neo vintage is quite appealing. 🤝
Some extra pics on strap now
Thanks for all the good wishes from everyone. I find the dial color and balanced proportions to be quite enchanting. Here are some pics of dial, display back, and red lacquered box. 🤝 ...
Such a beauty 😍
but I would prefer a suede or nubuck bracelet, this watch really exudes high class
💯
I’m thinking the same for the strap. Still experimenting. Thanks for your suggestions. Will post some pics after I get a new strap. 🤝
