The price tag is way out of my range as well.  Seems to be a common concern among many.  The watch is a beautiful piece but I'm not sure how GP can better justify the price.

. . . oval watches. The quintessential man's oval watch is the AP Millenary, which I'd seen in photos and showcases, but never liked enough to try on as they came across as slightly odd; the first time I saw one on a wrist was when Thomas slipped on the Maserati Millenary at a post-function dinner . . . I'll never forget how the character of the oval design in the abstract suddenly looked completely natural on his wrist, almost as though by magic. Was this your first experience with an oval watch? Curiously, Art

have similar reactions to the oval shaped case and dial Art. This was my first time wearing one.  The shape may be a bit strange to look at alone but once on the wrist, it does have a very natural feel and look and conforms well to the shape of the wrist area.  I have to say though that the AP Starry Night is an absolute dream of a watch  

Not to interject, but a photo always makes things nicer

. . . the Millenary is at the top of my list of watches that have to be worn in order to gauge their full measure . . . cordially, Art

Even some of the current regular production dials, which I am lukewarm with in pictures, are much nicer and easier to appreciate in person.

What I love about the Maserati LE are the sloping or canted layers.  In person it is quite unique.

for contributing to our knowledge and insight into timepieces for the "other" gender which is less often the subject of  posts on this forum.  Many of us can use the education.

for your positive feedback and for being so welcoming here. It's nice to throw one in every now and then to keep things interesting...and also exercise my brain.

 

Easily the favorite of her small collection.

You know I have known Anthony for years and met him at the Hammer GTG.  Next time I come out I'll bring Tracie and we can all grab dinner.

Thanks for the insightful review!!!

Certainly I think GP are one of the leaders of the pack when it comes to ladies' watches.

I also like their Lady Chrono, which has the added attraction of featuring one of the smallest chrono movements on the market at 23.9mm (equal in diameter, in fact, to the Lemania 1050 used in Breguet's Marine Lady Chrono - usually quoted as being "the" smallest).

The GP chrono movement -



And the Lemania/Breguet -



The GP3100 movement inside your watch is, oddly enough, the same movement as used by Gérald Genta in their Gefica -



Great to own a ladies-only timepiece with some serious horology behind it!

This GP is one of the most beautiful women watches I've ever seen.

Congrats for your very comprehensive review.

It is always so nice to get positive feedback from the Purist community who have much more extensive knowledge about watches than I do.

I still have much to learn and doing it slowly.  I still have yet to try on another watch that was as comfortable as the Cat's Eye.  It's a special piece indeed. Thanks again.
