Girard Perregaux

G'day,

it seems this one got a lot of fans!

And rightly so
It´s a beautiful piece and the enamel dial makes it very special:

I think we´ve not had a picture of the back so far, which unveils a little secret:

The hour and minute hands are not the only features to be off-centered!
Actually the movement itself is not concentrically placed in the case, which sets the new reference 25845 apart from any other Vintage45 model. Doing so required to create a case particularly for this model and the low number of pieces possible to produce each year results in quite a costly production.
There´s more to it than easily seen

Greetings from Germany,

Peter

the movement equipped with this off center piece is a " JEANRICHARD " movement ! 

G'day,

while on first view one might guess so, actually it´s not!
The GP variant includes a couple of differences, such as a different shape for the bridges and different finish/decoration.
In fact integrating a GP 3300 wouldn´t have been more expensive or more work. It just would be less wide, which in return creates difficulties for the larger dial side area required for the indication.
All in all, i think that´s a likewise minor point (at least considering the case and dial).

Cheers,

Peter

I didn't even see that.  I thought it has the new GP4500 movement which looks very similar.

The dial is simply stunning, really interesting about the off centre movement too.

So is this movement a JR1000 base? If so, is this the first GP to do so?

Cheers

?

Can some one explain this please ?

Sounds silly on an expensive watch

do they melee "demo's"

Hey everyone,

Still a bit confused regarding the movement inside this beauty, can anyone clarify?

Is the movement a JeanRichard base?

Thanks guys

Peter...just curious if you happen to know what the MSRP is for this piece? When would we expect to see these in dealer's hands?

Thanks for the wonderful pictures!
