GP 2499 silver dial

While the mother-in-law and wife do some quick shopping, I wait in the car and take pics of my watch. 😄

On the wrist today is my 38 mm GP 2499 silver guilloche dial which was made circa 2005. Calibre 022C0.

There were 180 pieces made of this cushion shape darling in a small production run.

Snailed and sunken bi-compax sub-dials with no date.

The double domed daphhire crystal gives the dial further depth and clarity. Hints of sporty red font couple well with the silver applied indices and the 12 & 6 numerals. Ample lume of the sword hands. The second hand is in black for contrast.

The case lugs curve to follow the contour of the wrist. The polished pushers are curved as well to follow the sweep of the cushion case. Satin finish for the case flanks and shoulders. The edges sharp where the bevels meet and the graining of the bevel is perpendicular to the direction of the graining of the lug shoulders.

The base below the bezel is high polished and the slim bezel itself is also high polished. So this watch case and design may initially seem “simple” but in reality it has many facets to it.

The dial twinkles in the sun and has a 3-dimensionality aspect to it because of the type of gullioche it has. (Anyone know the same of this specific guilloche pattern? 🧐 )

GP NEO-vintage … for those who know. 🤍

Hope you enjoy the pics and quick write-up.
