Girard Perregaux Manual Winding Chronograph, Ref 49529: A missed opportunity?

A very nice case.... 



A lovely dial, even if a bit too centered, and the presence of a date, which was not mandatory, at least for me...



A dial design which is mainly explained by the size of the " in house " movement, whose origins have to be found from LaJoux Perret... 



If only they didn't put this date, and offered some white metal and different dial colors... 

Best,

Nicolas

Yes, I have nothing against big dates. The best example: The Datograph. Even the name suggests that the date has been fully thought since the beginning of the concept of this watch.

Now, back to this GP, I regret GP didn't develop it. They had something, which had to have a life. It wasn't the case, alas...

How about this version ? ...
