Girard Perregaux

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...

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 yo... 

And way before the modern relaunch of Abarth as a sub-brand of Fiat 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Enjoy your new addition 😊👍🏻

that is a good looking watch. Not usually a fan of chronos but the details are all good here. Great catch.

About this one. ...  

I had the car but not the watch! Is it the same reference as the Fiat 30 year? It is so beautiful. Congratulations

Thanks for your kind wishes 🤝 ...  

Maybe you indeed like copper dial...but not in the form of laureato . Great catch.

Thank you. Maybe it’s the flat dial I like in this milk chocolate flavor more. 🤝

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

Begging has its rewards. Thanks for the kind wishes 🤝

color is striking.

The dial color works beautifully with the white metal.. Enjoy it!!!!

The japanese worked with the Macalusos to design this one. They got it right. 🤝

A GP without a date! Like many other people, I had never heard about or seen that one before, thanks for sharing!

Thanks Aaron. GP neo vintage has some gems. I hunt them down. 🔫🎯 🤝

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 … 🤫 🤝 ...  

This one deserves to be in your collection, Marc.

Wonder why GP has not really used this color that much. Seems to have lots of love ❤️ 🤝 ...  

The regular 4946 is quite attractive, but yours takes it to another level. Congrats and enjoy the beauty, Marc.

Always to hunt and finally be rewarded. I’m so pleased with this one. Are you from Singapore as well? 🤝

I am based in Singapore.

We are going to have another coffee meetup soon. You are welcome to join as well. 🤝

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... 

I was also hunting for a neo-vintage GP, although not even close to Abarth's rarity. rarity. ...  

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. 🤝

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. 🤝 ...  

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. 🤝
