Reference 7710 …

Friends,

Sharing a GP reference that most would not have heard of.

Reference 7710

Released in 1993 for 3 short months in a 34 mm case diameter (too small for my 18 cm wrist so it will be going to a deserving new home when I get down to it).

Though too small for me, I find this reference delightful. ❤️

Some History:

In 1993 (coincidentally the Acier number here as well), GP was using the Lemania 1873 manual-wind chronograph calibre in some watches. We remember the Richeville 2710 which also used the same calibre but was made in much larger quantities.

This one is Uber rare.

But GP management had a change of strategy and decided to make their chronos larger. Hence only 107 of these were made in full steel with 4 dial/hand variants. So approximately 28 made in this particular black dial variant were made.

Tritium dial with a coin-edge bezel. Pump pushers. With long lugs that make this wears more like a 35-36mm.

Bi-compax with no date.

NEO-vintage … when GP was owned by the Macaluso family.

Thought this was an interesting one to share.

🤝
