38 mm is a great size for this cushion case Welcome to the family 🥰 I’ll post a video over the next few days. ...  

Yes, for those who know ++

And wears well too. Gets a lot of questions from fellow watch nerds. Oh, didn’t know GP made them. All about the research. GP has gems … not well documented. Not crazy expensive yet.

Fits your wrist well

I have a 18.5 cm wrist so goes to show this cushion 38 mm from GP is a gem. Many people are only discovering them now … 2598 2498 2499 9012 These are the 4 reference numbers for the cushion shaped dials from GP in the lasts 1990s-2005. Neo vintage.

The guiloche dial is more subtle. Web pattern. The silver version is good too. Silver - 185 made Black - 122 made So not many out there.

The silver dial is also very clear. Here is a pic. ...  

Agree, the olive strap is a bit retro, a bit macho, a bit classy. 😀

I changed it to the steel bracelet for this week. The olive strap went to the 2598 black “military” dial ...  

When I’m doing, always get the bracelet as they may not be around forever. Straps will come and go. : )

Adds a lot of heft. In a good way. It also transforms the watch presence to feel more like a sports/tool watch.

Love that case shape ))

Cushion cases are super. Not round. Not square. Long lugs. GP has not made any since these. 20 years.

It’s a pity, pretty sure it would be a hit if GP reintroduced these now imo.

Cushion case prices will disappear as the main stream catches on. Who know … maybe GP will indeed come out with a cushion case again soon 😉

2499 as well? This version was commissioned by the sultan of Oman. The crest of the royal family. I’m researching further. Small batch. ...  

How can I manage?

Internet maybe? : )

Unfortunately I don't have a good enough picture but it is identical to this one: Credit Chrono24 You can see that the long hand with red arrow is the chronograph minute counter, the long seconds' hand is the chronograph seconds counter while at 9 it is a...  

Yours is a 2598 “military dial”. It Ke a beautiful watch as well and I like wearing mine too. About 700 (or so) of them were made and it was watch if the year in Japan 1999. There is an ivory dial version. as well. There are a few LE versions as well. A d...  

Was completely water damaged. So it’s 1 of 699 +/- : ) PS my good friend from boarding school in the UK was from Lagos. He is wonderful guy and ended up becoming a neurosurgeon in New York

And I say good think I don’t collect pateks ☺️

Cushion cases? … all 38 mm ...  

Those are the most neo vintage GPs. The case was full so … 🤷🏻‍♂️ Got another case. I like the 38 copper but I’m focusing on the non-production watches for now. I have some but rather search for the very rare ones while they are still floating around at de... 

Was not easy to find the lot … all in mint or near mint condition. : )

Any idea which movement is inside of it?

Finished and refined by GP of course. Best of both worlds… reliable and easy to service. And not just “plonked” in the case. GP refinished it all and also refines.

“Military” black dial. Fun fact: Some have 1960 on the back and others have 1970. (I have the 1970 … as it’s the year I was born) When first launched GP had 1960 engraved on the back … apparently a homage to some models from GP in 1960. Subsequently, GP f...
