GP ref 2499 cushion case
Some pics I took today of the Girard-Perregaux ref. 2499 silver dial with its rather rare orginal bracelet.
Cushion case with a 38 mm diameter.
Love the balance of this gullioche dial. Applied 12 & 6 and indices. Clean and entirely legible.
180 examples made circa 2005.
NEO-vintage, made under the stewardship of Gino Macaluso.
Hope you enjoy the pics.
