Want information about Square Cambered
Hi, I'm from Hong Kong and recently fall in love with GP. The more I see the photos from this gallery, the more I appreciate the exquisite, unique design and its class. I'm still an infant learning but a model really catches my eyeball, as it seems affordable to me as my first GP. The one is 'Square Chronograph 24990.0.11.1041' But I hardly can find this at retail shops here. Can someone pls advise me more information about this model? Which year is it from for this model? How do you compare this one with the 3-chrono 24980.1.11.1041?
Sorry that I don't know yet how to post photos. Thanks much to you guys!!

Welcome
G'day, both are discontinued models since some years ago, therefore you will have a hard time to find them at the GP-authorized dealers! Actually the cambered chronographs are inspired from a model of the 1960´s/1970´s, which then had a similar case. GP m...
Re: Want information about Square Cambered
Hi Peter, thx for your prompt response. Is the last production for both 2-chrono and 3-chrono already dated back to mid-90s? No wonder it cannot be found at ADs now. Actually I saw a new 3-chrono (black dial) at a shop, asking for around US3,900. So is it...
It´s a bit recent
Hi Hong, the square cambered chronographs debuted around 1997 and were discontinued in 2001/2002, then a small number of pieces were made again (mostly for Asia and Eastern Europe markets) in 2004. None of these is current production, therefore "new" is r...
If I may add a little information....
Hi, Peter said the essential about the product history but as I was at the GP factory visit last week I asked about this one and got an answer. Actually I'm quite fond of this case myself and looked for one 6 or 7 years ago and could only find and see a r...
Thanks a lot, Jerome!
Hi, thanks a lot! The pleasure and fun was all mine As it seems, the "square cambered" ones still have a lot of fans Actually there might be some out there in the distribution network, at least of the last models. I´ve seen one or two at german GP dealers...
More on Square Cambered
Hi Peter, I am very diligent these couple of days in reading your info, searching the web, and visiting ADs in HK. There are indeed just a few AD shops in HK as GP is not very popular here. But I'm quite sure that it's not possible to find a 24980 at AD s...
Hong, why aren't GP popular in HKG??
Are they more into Rolex still? Times have changed.
Re: why aren't GP popular in HKG??
Yes, HK is still most into Rolex, and actually very into!! Another brand which has gained much popularity is Panerai. Omega is OK, then Tag Heuer maybe, Cartier amongst the ladies . . . . . . Ball is attracting some people . . . . That's about it. Cheers....
YES! I finally bought it!!
Because 1. I really love the look of this watch 2. I believe this is the one last one in HK after an extensive search; or otherwise need to get one in Japan 3. I finally got an irresistable price 4. I buy this as a gift to myself for my MBA graduation (2 ...
