SIHH 2017: Girard-Perregaux 1966 Large Date with Moon Phases
Friends, One more novelty from this year, SIHH 2017: Girard-Perregaux 1966 Large Date with Moon Phases! A classic combination of complications in a 40mm case. Two complications that Girard-Perregaux learned to master: Large Date, the date change is lightn...

They have made a number of others before the 2015 model you mentioned.
One with XII and VI, and another with 3 and 9, of which there was a 200 piece Ltd Edition with a blue dial. There is even another with a full set of Roman Numerals, not to mention a Boucheron special edition. Boucheron

Perfect background for that watch...what a match!!!
Green Lantern seal of approval works great I see Personally.... although it's not usual for me ....but in this case I prefer white metal a lot...maybe cos your first pic is astounding Cheers D
You know me... Always looking for good backgrounds/settings! :)
I think blue is a natural environment for any GP watch! GL seal, we should patent that! Best Blomman
