That’s a great match 👌🏻👍🏻
Are you pairing it with an Abarth as well?

💯 this dial color … not seen it used by GP before
Have you seen it used in any other GP before?

Attractive watch
which existence I wasn’t aware of. Looking good on you.

Thanks George. Nothing written about it
In any forum etc. Not surprising that this one is vertically unheard of.
A fellow japanese collector told me about it.
GP neo vintage … need to know what to search for. And then ATTACK 😄
Honestly many still only see what is current production… it’s the tip of the iceberg. Laureato 38 mm 42 mm etc etc. they are nice but there is much more …
I don’t think my posts will do anything to change their mind about what to also consider.
More for us 😄

A very nice GP. I didn't know this existed, or the collaboration between GP and Abarth.
Were there other watches issued under the collaboration?
This one was a special commission
By the abarth group in japan in 2003. GP would have just ended it’s partnership with Ferrari.
GP was flying high during 2003. Luigi Macalus, the CEO and owner of GP used to drive a fiat abarth for championships. And I believe he was very close to the abarth folks in Japan so he made every effort to comply with their design request changes. The dial color is another example … the specifically said they didn’t want a dial color that had been used by GP before. Also double signed on the dial is another example.
I believe there was a red dial variant as well with 20 pieces made.
Interesting stuff ☺️
GP neo vintage … some superb pieces available on chrono24 if folks understood more and knew what to search for.

Welcome 🤝 I uploaded up videos
Links in the comments. Do take a look.
I also like the salmon dial 4940. It is also rare and collectible. Same case size as the abarth. I saw one on chrono24. They rarely come up for sale.

It's an extra pleasure of owning an excellent watch that the strap can be changed ... and then again.
I have so many watches that I often
Just rotate the straps between them 😃
