Girard-Perregaux Damier Gyromatic ref 7838

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : March 25th, 2017-23:01
Friends, Yes, you read it right – Damier Gyromatic. The more well-known Damier ref 7427 with with only hour and minute hands, no second’s hand or date is with a manual movement (GP 25-29/GP26-09). The less known or seen cousin, the Damier ref 7838 has a G...  

A very interesting post. Thank you.
