Friends, A chronograph that I think is underappreciated is the Girard-Perregaux reference 6557! Two register, 45 minutes’ chronograph. Clean, classic look. The red and blue Tachymetre/Telemetre scal is very charming… A nice manual column wheel movement inside, the GP Calibre 04 based on the Excelsio

Friends,

 

A chronograph that I think is underappreciated is the Girard-Perregaux reference 6557!

Two register, 45 minutes’ chronograph.

Clean, classic look.

The red and blue Tachymetre/Telemetre scal is very charming…

A nice manual column wheel movement inside, the GP Calibre 04 based on the Excelsior Park P4.


 


 

Now when GP re-entered a classic sports chronograph line into the collection, I would love to see something like this in a modern version!

 

 

Best

Blomman

No no wrong, this is not underappreciated, this is a very much loved Chronograph

Yes, a modern version, steel, manual wind would be most welcomed!

Hello Blomman

For a vintage watch, I find it always contemporary. Ok, it could be "modernised" but just a little bit in my opinion. How old is it and what is its case size? Best wishes Alkiro

The 6557 was produced between 1955 - 1957

Diameter 38 mm. Yes, a modern version of this one is something I would love to see! Best Blomman
