Baselworld 2015: Girard-Perregaux 1966 Guilloché dial
Girard-Perregaux unveils a new reinterpretation of its iconic Girard-Perregaux 1966 watch, with an 18K pink gold case featuring an exclusive guilloch dial. This mechanical watchmaking and aesthetic wonder is offered in both a mens and ladies version. C...
Typically what I feel about dates, here.
A nice work on the dial, spoiled by the date, which is too centered, therefore. The dial is superb on the jewelled version. But I prefer the non jewelled case. Best, Nicolas
The dial is magic! :)
But here, I can't argue with you about the date.... But look at the rest of the dial - MAGIC! :) Will post some thoughts and more live shots of these two soon. Best Blomman ...
I also think
the change of the seconds hand to gold takes some charme away. I love the blued seconds hand. I probably would have kept the Guilloche exclusive to the Ladies model.

Its not true,,,the trouble is...

Than one or two watches are more concerned about the esthetic and design of a watch than people with only one or two watches... For most people it is more important having the date functions than the keeping the dial intact. But I do agree, this one would...
At least for the enamel and guilloche dial
GP should have offered without a date, I think. Best Albert
As far as I know, there was one.
Although it is now discontinued. (Oh, but this one was offered without a date. Sorry for the mistake!) Best Albert ...
That's my favorite, too!
Enamel dial, railway track, blue hands, breguet style numbers, and small second. A mixture of all my favorite ingredients! Thank you for sharing! Best Albert
Really bad luck!
While reading your post, my wife saw the pictures. Her immediate reaction was: "beautiful, I want it". What's the thickness of the ladies model? I think I perhaps found the next Xmas present. Best, Kari
Bad luck or great timing...?! ;)
The diameter is 30 mm, I don't have the exact thickness, would guess around 7-8 mm. It would make an excellent X-mas gift! :) Best Blomman ...
I agree!
My wife has already 6 Patek, 2 JLC, Breguet, 2 Rolex, Zenith and I don't really know what. She has thought for a longer time about a RG watch and this GP looks like the right choice. It's even of the right side. Xmas present found - now I just need to fin...
