Thank you Faisal,
for your compliment!
I wouldn't say that I have good taste, but rather, eclectic taste. Some of my collection will leave people scratching their heads...
But, once in a while, I come across a winner that appeals to many=)

Excellent piece
one of my all time favorite moon-phase and my brothers as well :0) and the blue is just of perfect shade Thank you for review Damian
From the dial to the case, all is superb on this watch, Jon.
This is a superb alternative to the Classics we all know and you mentionned. The dial is one of the nicest of the category. Superb...Just Superb. Thanks for this great post, Jon. Best, Nicolas This message has been edited by amanico on 2010-03-31 03:32:08
A true beauty Jon and classic. I hope it is out of the safe now for
a long Spring showing, as this watch is too beautiful to keep hidden. This piece will be appreciated for ages. Your article did a great job of resetting my mind to the classics--thanks. Best, Tim
Thanks Tim, wearing it now as I am typing this.
If you like this, I have another one that gives it a different perspective. Coming soon=)
Beautiful watch
with an extraordinary good fit to your wrist - it´s almost wrapping around it! Thanks for this review of a classic watch. I also like this plain design, the big moon phase and big date. From my aesthetic point of view, I would prefer the panorama date win...
Ah... I hear you. Wait for my upcoming review of another GP.
I think you will like that dial better=)
small details, but I agree. But nonetheless, a timelessly elegant design.
I'm loving its sportier RDM Laureato cousin the past months... Cheers, and thanks, Z3, very nice homage to a great design. TM
Thanks Jon...
for sharing a really superb watch. Especially in a time when many makers are trying to rediscover timeless values, GP seems to continually come back to those ideas as their touchstone. Please keep that watch out of the safe, it deserves it.
Thanks.
I always think of GP as a classic brand with a strong heritage in movements, and was a bit confused when it shifted a lot of the focus towards big sporty watches. I am glad that it has re-oriented its goal towards what it does best now.
another indication
on your high taste Z3 , an by the way thats a watch to admire. Thanks for sharing. Faisal

Something to wear...
while enjoying fondue and a fine white wine. Perfecto. Nice pics, beautiful timepiece....
Quite a nice piece....
The elements all come together to give a classic appearance. It is one which would be at home worn to the most elegant soiree or to the outdoor barbecue. Thanks for bringing it to our attention. tempusfugit
Thanks for the review Jon.
Elegant watch as you say. Was this part of a two piece set? I recall something like that. - SJX
Hi JX
This particular one is not from a set. To the best of my knowledge, I think the sets of two watches are made of stainless steel only. One is in the Classique Elegance case, another in the Vintage case. Same movements. Hope all is well with you? Jon
There's certainly LOTS and LOTS of life beyond PP =)
Nothing wrong with PP and Rolex. Great companies and I love both of them very much. To me, it's the variety that makes life interesting.
A beautiful watch
I do like this design. It's an intriguing combo of a romantic complication (moonphase) and a practical one (big date). The watch is dressy, but not in a traditional fashion. I think GP almost always presents great, practical, attractive watches, and your ...
Thank you Daos
You succinctly summed up the spirit of the piece elegantly. I hope that we are seeing a resurgence of sorts for GP.
Wonderful...
...watch and outstanding pictures, Z3! You really figured it out.... the blue dial is mesmerizing... thanks, Stefan
