Reference 2598 … less frequently seen
Two less frequently seen Girard-Perregaux Cushion Case watches.
38 mm steel 
case.
30 pieces made of the black dial.
50 pieces made of the blue dial.
Both made circa 2001 … so neo-vintage.
Not bad for 20 year old watches.☺️
GP has not made any cushion case watches since then.
These watches have 6 hands. And the 4 central hands are hours, minutes, and chronograph seconds and the red arrow hand is for the chronograph minutes.
The subdial right is for small seconds.
The subdial left is for a 24 hour/am-pm indicator.
Both have applied breguet numbers.

A. 4 concentric shafts is a greater challenge for the manufacture to machine B. 4 hands one above the other increases the risk of hands touching each other C. 4 in the center increases the thickness of the watch, but sub-dials do not D. The Lemania 5100 w...
Yes no issues from my side,
And between my brother and I, have have several variants of the 2598. Thickness is 13 mm. It’s stepped so, never felt it to be a thick watch either. The lugs taper to conform with the wrist. It’s quirky cool IMHO. I have yet to meet a person who didn’t li...
Yes the first one in with the black dial
Has so little online about it. It was a special edition for the Asian market only.
Would rather run a GP museum
As opposed to a GP authorized dealer I like the rare ones. 😄
Very, very nice pieces.
From sizing to function and dial lay out… these are as good as it gets. Cheers x2!
