Girard Perregaux

38 mm is a great size for this cushion case


















Welcome to the family 🥰

I’ll post a video over the next few days.

Yes, for those who know ++

And wears well too. Gets a lot of questions from fellow watch nerds. Oh, didn’t know GP made them.

All about the research. GP has gems … not well documented. Not crazy expensive yet.

Fits your wrist well 

I have a 18.5 cm wrist so goes to show this cushion 38 mm from GP is a gem.

Many people are only discovering them now …

2598
2498
2499
9012

These are the 4 reference numbers for the cushion shaped dials from GP in the lasts 1990s-2005. Neo vintage.

The guiloche dial is more subtle. Web pattern.

The silver version is good too.

Silver - 185 made
Black - 122 made

So not many out there.

The silver dial is also very clear.

Here is a pic.

Agree, the olive strap is a bit retro, a bit macho, a bit classy. 😀

I changed it to the steel bracelet for this week.

The olive strap went to the 2598 black “military”


dial

When I’m doing, always get the bracelet as they may not be around forever.

Straps will come and go.

: )

Adds a lot of heft. In a good way.

It also transforms the watch presence to feel more like a sports/tool watch.

Love that case shape ))

Cushion cases are super. Not round. Not square. Long lugs.

GP has not made any since these. 20 years.

It’s a pity, pretty sure it would be a hit if GP reintroduced these now imo.

Cushion case prices will disappear as the main stream catches on.

Who know … maybe GP will indeed come out with a cushion case again soon 😉

2499 as well?

This version was commissioned by the sultan of Oman. The crest of the royal family. I’m researching further. Small batch.

How can I manage?
