A very nice Vintage Girard Perregaux Chronograph.

We learn every day, and when it comes to the Vinage GP world, it is even more true!
While I am desperately hunting the Chronograph which inspired Girard Perregaux for the 1966 Chronograph we know, a friend came with this one:
Doesn't it sound familiar to you?
Look at this one ( the one on your right, a Type XX from Breguet ) :
A kind of Type XX from GP!
Its owner told me that this Chrono housed a Valjoux 720.
Another one to directly go to my wish list!
Best,
Nicolas

I dare to say that I like the GP hands more than this amazing Breguet XX. Thanks for another lesson on Vlad's school. Cheers, Nilo
Impressive!

There are many, many treasures in the GP back catalog! We are all of us just at the tip of the iceberg, I feel! Thanks for the beautiful photos, Nicolas! Cheers, Daos
Beautiful GP, I like it.

We could call it a clone of the Breguet, who was first? Nice to know/discover the roots of today's horlogery. Thanks for sharing. Vte :)
