Not a Richeville - Art Deco 1938 vintage GP

 


Appologies for fuzzy photo.   I am researching this recent acquisition.   Supposed to be 1938 vintage, 14kt case probably made in USA to house the imported GP "unadjusted" 17J movement, caliber 86 in very good condition, good timekeeper (less than secs/day).   My watch reference book has a similar watch shown as dating 1948.   Was it possible for the same style to be produced over 10 years or more around WW2?   The number on the movement is 28xx.   I understood this number to be a batch number and not a serial number.   Any information would be well received.   

I have a small collection of vintage and older watches of various makes where I also kept almost every watch I own from 1950's childhood.   New to GP this year, I love the variety and workmanship.     Many thanks from me as a new member to this forum.

Hi Andy, the ref. 2730 was in production over quite a long time from mid 1990?s until 2002. There are several versions (3-hands, pointer date, chronograph etc), so it will need a little more precise input to state a bit more about the specific model you h...

Yes, thank you, Peter. The one I'm looking into is a pointer-date with seconds hand at 6 o'clock, all stainless steel. I'm trying to find out what the water-resistance is,the movement, etc. I don't know much about GP's, hope to learn more. Thanks, Andy

I love the 2730 Richeville . . .

Hi Andy: The 2730 Richeville is one of my favorite GP's. I think it is classically beautiful and the half-moon pointer date is simply great. To me, it makes the watch special as I rarely see date hands. I have seen several with guilloch? dials that are a ... 

That?s correct. Some info

Hi Will, thanks! It?s correct, the 27300 is water-resistant to 30m. The automatic movement GP 2201 is based on the ETA 2892 with a Jaquet module for the pointer. The case is measuring 36x35mm; if i read this correct, the height is 5.25mm. It?s got a sapph...

Just aquired this beauty. Original aligator band and signed gold buckle now carefully stored and replaced with new one as seen in photo for (mostly) daily use. Time-keeping is within less than 1 sec/day. Ignore time on the photo as camera's time setting i...
