White Gold 40 mm case. 




If only it had a solid case back, and a tad smaller case or bigger movement! 

Best,

Nicolas

Of the 5070.

Yes, and I see why you compare it.

Same thoughts here 🙏🏻

Which also have a small movement... ;)

…and perhaps with darker hands like another chrono reference you have 😎

I see what you mean, but on this other chrono , the hands develops patina, which gives them this color... ;)

I did not know that!

Not evident to know.

Hard not to fall in love with, indeed.

Thanks for looking, mon ami.

Seems fine to me Nico. Can't have everything your heart's desire my friend. Just live with it. Our wants are insatiable. 😉

Right you are, mon ami.

 
By: amanico : September 17th, 2024-05:42

The disconnect between case and movement size on this one is quite stark indeed 🤷🏻‍♂️

 
By: KMII : September 17th, 2024-05:15
But otherwise a very nice piece!

Yes, agreed.

 
By: amanico : September 17th, 2024-05:41

Agree with your comments. Still a nice one

And 7 times cheaper on secondary market than 5070g

Approximatively, yes. ;)

 
By: amanico : September 17th, 2024-21:07

Yes,a very beautiful GP !

I once could handle the rose gold version and was positively impressed.

And the blue dialed version, too!
