GP Perpetual Calendar 90535-52-131-BK6A
Hi everyone!
There is very little information(the caliber GP033Q0 isn't listed on watchbase ) out there regarding the 1966 perpetual released as a limited edition in 2010 (i think). It looks like tremendous value for money, as these can be picked up sub 20K nowadays. Is there a catch? Is the perpetual calendar movement bad in any ways? Is it integrated or perhaps modular, as is the case with IWCs? If anyone knows or owns this watch, please share your thoughts!

GP is still making the same mistakes
Even after becoming independent. The can not seem to control their ADs and manage inventory and distribution to match demand … I mean really demand and not spend history requirements from some ADs for buyers to get a Patek. Patrick the CEO even talked abo...
And look at this standard of marketing
It looks like this guy has his hand on a public toilet floor … 🤦🏻♂️ ...
as others already stated
The catch is a very small modular movement that makes it visually ugly and, difficult to read. What I experienced myself with other brands perpetual calendars is that the devil is in the detail and these small sub-dials can be incredibly difficult to read...
