Two shots of the Girard-Perregaux Richeville 2520
Friends,
Today I like to share another one of CCs very nice semi-vintage watches.
The Girard-Perregaux Richeville 2520.
An Art Deco watch bit less stylish than the Vintage 1945, but still very elegant!
Again, thank you to CC for letting me play with this one!
Best

It is a bit closer in looks to the Reverso compared with the Vintage 45
but still unmistakenly Art Deco! CC
Yes, I thought that as well!
As a reformed JLC collector I see a lot of common points between the two brands, not only in this watch...! Best Blomman
Very nice!
Appears to be of a very classical size, too. Proper dress watch (maybe not black tie but still) Thanks for sharing!
Interesting
I never really conssidered it a dress watch. With the black dial and the arabic lume numbers, it is more of a classic sports watch in my view. CC
I guess things may have changed a bit
In the sense of much sportier designs having become accepted as watches one wears with a suit; compared to many of those, your GP is much more classical
For sure
I'm not a big fan of very smart suits combined with a Casio Sports watch, but whatever, as anyone pleases.
Nor am I ;)
Meant more your typical Submariner or Planet Ocean paired with a suit - something relatively common these days. Compared to that your GP is much dressier
Both classic in size and look! :)
But works perfectly to a pair of jeans as well! Best Blomman
A very nice timeless design.. Classical lines, but also quite cool appeal ! .. :))
.. almost a GADA- DNA ( Go anywhere, Do anything !), well not a real tool watch, but pretty versatile, I suppose. Thx for this Monday share & Have a good week ! Best, hs PS: your & CC\'s steady "drops", already started to grow in me. - Still, my personal ...
