All were made under the auspices of Gino Macaluso. Circa 1999 to 2005. “Vintage 1960” was the initial name for the ref 2598. It was later changed to “Vintage 1970”. This is because it was determined that it was more apt as GP made some more cushion cases

I really like bi compax chronographs and these two from Girard Perregaux are stunning. I especially like the angles of the case that just makes it look more special and interesting it is a shame they only made 30 examples of this beauty and would do well

I took some pics of my GP 2598 and my brother’s as well. Mine is on the rubber strap and his is on the orginal croco strap. I swapped my leather strap to rubber today as it was quite rainy. What do you think of the rubber strap? So this Neo-vintage 2598 i

Girard Perregaux pieces i feel, are very underrated. Especially from the Macaluso era. They are good value buys in the used market. Rishi 2598, in champagne dial 4930, 36mm in rose gold

The Yves-Klein blue really makes this bird sing. I’m not sure if it’s “better” than the OS blues but this 2598 is certainly more rare as only 50 were made. For the OS, I’d choose the chocolate dial anyway if it came down to it. 🤝

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.

Personally, I prefer the neo-vintage cushion cases from 1999-2005. Namely the 2598,2498,2499, 9012. And some of them are much more rare with far less than 350 made and no chance of mor being made in the future. They are styled and less blocky. GP has not
