Girard Perregaux

Some "real" impressions

 

The White Gold variant:



The Pink Gold variant:



You may notice the dial colour is not the same and carefully choosen to perfectly match the case material and the elegant appearance.





As you see, both dials are finished with a very fine "sunray" brushing. This truly allows for a subtle, but very beautiful play of light, which is far more visible than with the white dial versions.







Due to this, the colour of each dial variant can change between a light grey and almost black, which i find an interesting and beautiful look. It´s quite a "nostalgic" touch, which to me seems a perfect match for the Vintage1966 model.

Hope you enjoyed the impressions - and the watch, as soon as it will be available at your AD!
Just that now, choosing between the silver-white and the grey dial variants is a really difficult task smile

Cheers,

Peter

These dials, are they rounded around the edges? Or do I need glasses. Nice touch yet still managed to keep it simple. This one is growing on me. I never like watches that are too simple looking but I think this one, especially the triple calender with moo... 

Beautiful dials...

If I were to wear a suit more often, this one would be a terrific watch, thanks Peter for the pictures. BTW: I received a fax yesterday that my Sea Hawk with the new hobnail dial is ready....can't wait to have it on my wrist next week. Cheers, Christian

G'day, in fact, yes. There´s not a great variety of design elements to set it apart from others; it´s round, same size as many others, three hands only and just with a date. One might say it´s not special, but to me it does have a recognizable "look" in t...
