Girard Perregaux

A COINCIDENCE!

Team, Folks, Mates!

I would like to admit to you, that I have just seen this GP watch in the real at my favourite AD, and was immediately falled in love with her:

Yes, yes, yes, it is the same watch - at least I think! - as Tony's watch introduced here, but I have seen it real first, and then I have seen Tony's thread here. So the inspiration comes solely from the watch!

I must also confess to you, that this is the second GP watch, what pulls the trigger on me to buy a GP, of course the first one is the one and lovely Lauerato Heritage, which I can also try on:

It is huge, impressive, but the similarities between my AP real Anniversary watch is too obvious for me:

Back to this very particular world timer model from GP:
The AD told me that this Ref. ( 49865 ) is already discontinued, but if it is right, it wasn't too long time ago at all, because I could still find the watch in my 2015 watchcatalouge!

As I understand well after my researches, the new version has a bigger diameter ( 43 mm instead of 41 mm ) and this one is very PURISTIC: the watch has only a little second, no date, no chronograph, no power reserve indicator.

Here you can see how she sits on my wrist:

I am eager about your opinion, what do the experts ( CC, Blomman ) says about this reference? It is brand new, and I am not sure, that I will find one more NIB, from AD.

Yours,

Adam

Hope to see another fellow 49865 here soon!! Best! Tony

a) she is too beautiful to do that b) you'll tell her that you bought that one for me i.e. you just look after it for me c) you'll tell her you never actually own GP you just admire it Cheers D

Regarding the first reason: on which knowledge based your opinion, my young Padawan? Regarding the second reason: it is quite dangerous, if I buy a watch on your name, especially a GP! The third reason was already in my head, too! Yours, Adam

You must never forget that I don't forget ;)

Ref 49865 will become a true classic and we already have a few here in the forum. The 41mm case with the silver dial is my favourite version as well. If I didn't already have the Chronograph, this would be very high on my list, in fact, I'm thinking of ad...
