❤ it's particularly interesting as
the "regular" 4946 has a date and has 3 sub-dials.
So Gino allowed for this one be modified and yet retain the the same ref number. Naughty but that's how it was back then. They broke some rules. 😅
They would have done well to add this model. to the regular catalog.

Special Watches linked to special cars
I thought it would be interesting to see some wrist shots of some special watches that are linked to some special cars. I'll kick it off .... NEO-vintage GP and entirely off-catalog ... On its original bracelet today ... the Abarth Ref 4946 where 50 examp...
You struck gold with that one!
Beautifully done and no date which is hard to achieve with GP, top pick.

Don't known sorry

On the photo above, the background is the dashboard of an Alpine A110.
Wow. That's also quite unique
I like the simple dial. I don't recall seeing an running seconds caltrava at 4/5 o'clock before. I read once that Ferrari and Patek were close to doing a deal. PP to make Ferrari collaboration watches. Ferrari wanted the logo on the dial and Patek refused...
Yes, that's the story I read, thoh.
Perhaps in the PP magazine. Your GP is a stunner!
I don’t know if this qualifies as a “special” timepiece (It’s just one of many 62GS limited editions with a different color scheme) ...

Here are a few car watches
The Mini! Do Railroad cars count? Porsche Design is kind of cheating But the compass watch was ever so cool “The treasure is just a hair to the left of North from here” This was related to a brand but I have forgotten its story Looks like a dashboard Pors...
