One more vintage GP to the collection.

My second vintage GP arrived a week ago, I haven't taken it off much since, I am not too familiar with this model however the information I have found says it is a type 20. The movement is a Valjoux 720 with flyback function dating from around the 1960s. ...
Excellent pair!

Yes, it is the Type XX from GP with its oversized minute counter and the flyback function. Here is another one I was Lucky to be able to take in picture: I love a lot your Deep Diver, too. Nice collection you have here! Best, Nicolas ...
Another beauty in your collection! :)

that TypeXX. Fly back Valjoux cal. 720 is in itself a rarity and very little is available on this very rare watch. This is nr 4 that I now know of as I try to keep track of all of those that have surfaced on the net. Unfortunately, but not very surprising...
Both beautiful Michael, congratulations......

Not been an expert I cannot say if your splendid chronograph is a Type 20 but it surely does have a very strong "air de famille" with the Breguet Type XX Aeronavale. Cheers Francois from Down Under
