Girard Perregaux

Quiet Luxury. The video 🔊 can be found on my IG: www.instagram.com One of the many reasons I especially love the NEO-vintage era. Some special ones with provenance behind the timepieces. 🤝 ============================== The back-story of the Girar...  

An old pic from a GP I do not own anymore. Sad thing. ...  

Tell us more about this special one please? 🤝

I just put it in to compare with your chrono. Very different but the same basis I assume. Today I love these little GP chronos.

Yours is a ref 4950. 40 mm. GP cal 19CO solid caseback. 1,000 pieces made It’s a good looking for sure 👏 ...  

On the original bracelet … I prefer strap but always good to have the bracelet as well. 🤝 ...  

It's not difficult to see why you like it as it just looks so right enjoy it in good health. Marc

Neo-vintage GP … some very rare and beautiful birds (some undocumented) for those who know and and driven to look beyond the mainstream. 🤝

No date, no screw down pushers, no hype, just pure unaltered pleasure!

The applied Breguet numbers and hands in white metal against the Havana dial. I was so pleased about not having to set the date before I took pics 😀 One of 50 … 49 more out there somewhere. My motto … Life is too short to be like everyone else all all the... 

Tobacco or Havana dials are amazing when done right. 🤝

And removed the date from a reference that has a date. These things were done in the neo vintage period more so than now. We get these exceptions and I find them delightful. I don’t think we get these sort of things from these big brands any more for prod... 

Difficult question for Parmigiani. The brand appears to have done a lot of experimenting in its early years (now "neo-vintage" years?) and it's fun searching out some of the unusual pieces from those years. However, it has been widely reported (so presuma... 

We have sharp eyes. This is not our first rodeo. 🤠 I agree about the date. Interesting that what we don’t see is sometimes just as attractive as what we do. The lack of date for this one is a blessing. There was more freedom in those years. To express one... 

I especially like it paired with that cream colored shirt - Nicely chosen timepiece!

One of my old linen shirts that I’ve never had the heart to get rid off. 😅 🤝

Do let me know if you ever find one and pass on it. It took me a long time to find mine and my brother wants one too. But mine is staying in MY collection 😅 It comes in a really nice lacquer box too. There is a bracelet for it as well. I prefer it on stra...  

I almost had to kill to find and then convince the owner to sell it to me 😅 🤝

Never seen this one before.

It’s one of those off-catalog special commission pieces. A neo-vintage delight. If we get enough people together, I wonder if GP will make a special commission model for us …. 🤔 🤝

Everything is right about it.

One can see how the details matter. The minutia. 🤝

Love that dial and overall look!

that I collect. 🤝 For me, apart from looks, I feel like rarity and provenance are just as important.

The GP bracelet is of superb quality but I too do prefer some watches on strap. I just keep the bracelet safely. Always good to have. 🤝
