Friends,


let's have a look at a Girard-Perregaux we do not see every day.

The Richeville Perpetual Calendar from the 2000s. 

A bold case and a beautifully worked dial with the perfect perpetual calendar layout.

As far as I know, I'm aware of 4 versions.

Pink Gold and Arabic numerals




Platinum as a limited edition (came as a set)

Steel:







and Pink gold with Roman Numerals.

So which one would you pick?

Thanks MCG, so which version would you pick? [nt]

Not the roman one and not the steel one (I do not prefer breguet hands)

But THEN it‘s getting hard… 🤷🏼‍♂️👍🏻😂

May be the most beautiful tonneau case in the market. Thanks CC for showing. [nt]

Good point, Walter. As far as Tonneau cases is concerned, the last Richeville was close to perfection. [nt]

I saw the platinum in the metal and this is my favorite! [nt]

I expected that and it is the most difficult to find. [nt]

Platinum for me ! [nt]

Only luxery mens here, i prefer this watch in oro rosa. I love this long lugs, makes the watch very elegant and well shaped. [nt]

That’s the great thing about collecting..

Something for all of us

I am to romantic for platine, i prefer the warm metals! [nt]

Yes the long lugs look indeed very elegant! But it‘s a killer if you have small wrists... 😵 [nt]

No message body

Not really, on that case, the lugs are not that long, they work well on a smaller wrist [nt]

 
 By: crown comfort : October 16th, 2018-22:52

Well, I know the case very well, I tried it. ;) [nt]

 
 By: MCG (Markus) : October 17th, 2018-00:20

What did you think ? [nt]

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : October 17th, 2018-01:02

For me the lugs are too long. But I have a 15.5cm wrist. The watches I wear have usually 38-40mm in diameter...

 
 By: MCG (Markus) : October 17th, 2018-06:19
Lug to Lug is (if I remember correct) 50mm, which is slightly to large for me. Especially for a dress watch...

Good point [nt]

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : October 17th, 2018-01:01

It is a cool choice. The grey dial is really nice in real. [nt]

Hello CC

I’m between the first and the fourth. But I would keep the third (steel) one. Best. René

Thanks Rene, yep, first vote for the steel, but not the last [nt]

 
 By: crown comfort : October 16th, 2018-12:24

The Pink Gold and Arabic numerals would be my choice! [nt]

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : October 16th, 2018-11:11

Yes, that is a superb choice, so warm and a really gorgeous dial. [nt]

 
 By: crown comfort : October 16th, 2018-12:24

Ok, maybe I should tell you my favourite...

 
 By: crown comfort : October 16th, 2018-12:27
Very difficult choice. I kind of like all of them, but if I needed to pick one, it would be. The Steel Version. I like the blued Breguet hands with the Arabic numbers. I think I would wear it more often than the pink gold I like the idea of having a big c...
