I dare considering it as an Icon.
A funny coincidence which made me smile.... The Ref number 5420. While the Royal Oak ref number is 5402. ;) Best, Nicolas.
I would agree!
Minimum I would say is a modern Icon! :) Yes, you better have your numbers right...! 02... 20! ;) Best Blomman
I am happy to see that GP maintained the Vintage 45 line.
This Watch, and its modern itérations, have really something. Best, Nicolas
I will post some more on the original 1945 soon.
A watch with great character! :) Best Blomman
5420 - 5418
Trovati ieri in una scatola . Il 5418 è Amphibian , credo sia molto raro. Sono referenze giustamente apprezzate dai collezionisti GP ... anche se la mia preferita è la 5254: un'orologio quasi sconosciuto ma, secondo me, bellissimo. Ciao Giuseppe ...
Ah, Giuseppe! :)
You really know how to hurt me! ;) Please post some more photos! Best Blomman
Andwhile we are at it, Giuseppe, can you explain us what are the differences, other than..
Water resistant cases? Best, Nicolas.
Ref 5418
is the all stainless steel model. I was sniped on a mint example by another Purist while trying to buy it and I've never seen another mint condition 5418. Same dial as the 5420, but steel godrons, not gold.

35 USD back in the 1940's! :) What a beautiful collection you have, Giuseppe! Please keep them coming! :) Best Blomman ...
5254 Amphibian con calibro 91
Ecco qualche foto. L'orologio è in po' sporco , le fotografie non gli rendono giustizia...... dal vivo ha linee di essere riprese dalla maison. Ha le clamps e le parti in oro sono mobili. Ciao Giuseppe ...
What a fantastic case! :)
Love this case! :) Stunning watch, thank you for sharing! Best Blomman
this case looks very very very similar to this Eterna.... did GP and Eterna worked on developing waterproof watches together?
Sorry, I do not know much about GP or Eterna. Compare case construction details .... ...
Very nice Eterna!
Not aware of any official collaboration between GP and Eterna... But at this point in time, many brands used the same case makers for their watches. So often you see similar or even same cases cross brands. For example, look at JLC Deep Sea Alarm E 857, G...
