Girard Perregaux

These are making me blue....! ;)

 

You know I am a sucker for blue dials, Nicolas.

 

The 1966, I tend to agree on the date window, but I don’t see it as a big problem.

For me the warm tone of the pink gold makes perfect sense on a classic looking beauty like this!

Love the shape of this case, the blue radiant dial and the long slender index matches perfectly the hands.

The fact that the index goes almost to the edge of the bezel is another detail I really like!

 

As for the Vintage, I agree with you. The smaller size would have been better for my wrist.

The case of the Vintage is stunning and in white metal all the well-crafted details comes out, a fest for the eye!

The blue dial with the sub-second…. Perfect match.

And the cheery on the cake for me is the red 60!

 

Thank you for this report!

 

Best

Girard Perregaux is, still, this year, surfing on their two superb cases, whi can be considered as iconic, the 1966 and the Vintage, Who will complain? Certainly not me! The only thing I would complain about is the quality of my pictures on this two very ...  

I much prefer the Vintage 45 blue

Because I love the case (even if it is a bit too large) and it has more character. Moreover, good surprise, the watch doesn't have any date window! The 1966 is less surprising IMHO. Thanks for the presentation! Fx

Thanks for this report

This presents a tough choice for my attention this year. The blue 1966 or the Reverso Chocolat ? No date on the 1966 would have sealed it. Dean

The combo rose gold blue dial is convincing, yes.

Thanks for sharing these. It always gives a better impression to see real photos than the official catalogue photos. I think both are superb. If I'm not mistaken than the 1966 blue dial is slightly brighter blue than the Palladium limited edition with a d... 

You are too kind with my poor live pics.

But I asked for another photo session, and will take better pics, next time, now that I've done the correct settings on my D Lux 6. Back to the watches, yes, the same dial in a smaller case would be perfect for me, too. Nonetheless, as it is, the Vintage ...

.. with this strong classic presence, but also a cool, sporty appeal. - The blue accentuated dial, and the shape of the case are promising +'s to me The only thing would be the size, which probably can only be fully estimated in the real.. Thank you for s... 

The Vintage 45 has a spectacular case, which can be fully appreciated only in the real.
