Girard Perregaux Manual Winding Chronograph, Ref 49529: A missed opportunity?
A very nice case....
A lovely dial, even if a bit too centered, and the presence of a date, which was not mandatory, at least for me...
A dial design which is mainly explained by the size of the " in house " movement, whose origins have to be found from LaJoux Perret...

If only they didn't put this date, and offered some white metal and different dial colors...
Best,

Now that you point out the dial layout due to the movement size, I find it odd. Also, in the past I did not mind dates, but now someone must have influence on me because I am becoming allergic to them on a dial...except for big dates complication

Yes, I have nothing against big dates. The best example: The Datograph. Even the name suggests that the date has been fully thought since the beginning of the concept of this watch.
Now, back to this GP, I regret GP didn't develop it. They had something, which had to have a life. It wasn't the case, alas...
Yes, but still rose gold case. Not steel nor platinum... Nor white gold. Add a black dial on a white metal case, or a blue dial... Remove the date. Center the dial parts a bit less... We have a masterpiece!

Closest I’ve seen to a dated 5070 (grail watch) ... completely missed this reference by GP

Alas. As I said, I would have loved to see some iterations of this watch, which is born in... 2014!

I happen to have a soft spot for this watch too but with the brown dial as shown earlier. That later model had a better proportioned movement. I would like to see in the flesh. Cheers S.
Still a nice watch. With that movement/case ratio I would not collect it though
