This watch is a marvel!

For me as a potential buyer of a GP Tourbillon this version is a little bit too … overloaded, but it is a really stunning piece of art and it is interesting to see how GP develops and that they seem to focus more and more on high(est) end watches. Or is this just an impression due to their promotion work?

That the PR should be 40h shorter I can just explain with the thoughts that the (smaller?) movement might be constructed in a different way. I am very curious to read more about it.

Thanks for posting, Nico.

If you regularly follow our Girard Perregaux Forum, you know that in 2016, the Blue House introduced in the catalog the Esmeralda, but in a wrist watch, not like the ancestor which was one of the most delicious pocket watch ever made. Then, in 2018 we had...

As always, and interesting read. One question (not that I am a customer for this watch) but it says it is automatic. I do not see a winding rotor, centrally mounted, micro, peripheral or otherwise... Pardon my ignorance, but where is the self-winding mech... 

The rotor is mounted coaxially with the barrel under the top bridge out of sight.

By the way: the movement of the in summer announced 230th Anniversary version (GP09400-1273: self-winding movement with tourbillon, hours, minutes and small seconds) has a 60-hour power reserve. So we know now 3 “versions” of PR: 50 (2021 “A secret”, 60 (... 

I think the 2019 A Secret is one of the most beautiful watches I have ever seen

Too bad that it's unique and inaccessible. I do prefer it over the 2021 version but I am happy to see that there is a new version. I hope to see more versions in the future.

Same for me. Thanks, Credor.

I do like engraved watches and this one ticks a lot of boxes imo .

That officers case back is also amazing . I know some will find it to a bit to much but i like this watch a lot

Exactly the same for me.
