Girard Perregaux

Friends,

Cushion cases … in 2005, Girard-Perregaux produced the 38 mm reference 2499 chronograph in a limited production run of 188 pieces made in the silver dial.

With its guilloche dial, bi-compax, domed crystal and long curved lugs that elongate with the sweep of the case … I find the proportions to be just perfect.

Sharing some pics of mine … as you can tell, I’m still in love. 🥰

It's easy to understand why you love it so much I mean what's not to love. I much prefer the grey dial version and it looks stunning with the grey gator strap. enjoy and wear it in good health.

Tfs your joy. Cool. 😎

Geross.

but it looks awesome on your wrist.

Thanks for sharing, Marc.

I agree with you on cushion cases.

I have only liked the fit of cushion cases from GP because the case and lugs are tapered.

The case design and execution may seem simple at first glance.

The milling and finishing is more complex in reality.

See A here in this pic. The lug thickness tapers and sweeps from case.
It’s not one “block”.



Here A and C are curved to fit the wrist shape. B is flat to fit the flat part of the bone.

D has vertical satin brushing and the chamfer on E is horizontal satin brushing that meets the lugs at an angle.
