Girard Perregaux

hi, As part of my exploration of GP chronographs (see what you've done there, Blomman! haha), I came across this watch, a recent 250 piece LE from 2009, the "Monte Carlo 1973". (image from Ablogtowatch) I thought it was quite an attractive watch and I lik...  

I would also like to see some live shots.

Best wishes Alkiro

For the rest, yes, very nice! Best, Nicolas

it would be to expunge all dates on chronographs! (and manual wind dress watches too)

Great looking watch! Sadly I never saw this one in real either... Will see if I can dig up any info on this one... Best Blomman

Thanks for digging this one out. I'm afraid I also have never seen this one in the metal, so also only have the same info that you can find on the Web. I believe the technical basis is the Fly-back Chrono 49580 from the early 2000s. Cheers, CC

Patience is the name of the game then! Even wristshots are rare, I tried searching google, and turned out only a few. I must say it looks just as yummy on the wrist... (pic from Google) ...  

Reference 49580, 1973 with an Alpine Renault LE of 250 pieces. Agree that it really looks good in real! Really like how the bezel is facing outside to the sides. Best Blomman
