38 mm GP 2598 … with the Yves-Klein blue dial 🫶🏼 Hope everyone is having a happy weekend. First few shots are from this morning. The others are some close up shots I took some time ago. ...
Beautiful sheen it has. Do you know the process in achieving that? the applied numbers are beautiful! Love the case as well. I remember remarking in the past that it is reminiscent of the Rolex Army from the 40's/50's. Your case here is much more substant...

There are four cushion case models from GP from 1999-2005 All four lines were limited production. Ref 9012 … I read once that several hundred made. Exact number I do not know. It’s a retrrapante. I do not have it in my collection and not sure if I do or n...
