OK, since, I'm not rich and I'll probably never own any GP watches, I have to say that this has to be my favorite GP watch ever made.

Pics borrowed from the net

not an easy task, Kevin.

First of all, this 1950's beauty...classic, elegant

...then my Traveller II: practical with the alarm and the second time zone, and yet a clean and shiny black dial.

and on my wishlist, this tourbillon under three bridges. The gold bridges are just phantastic -  in short: a dream!

In the high end category:

- The Opera 1, 2 or 3.

- The 3 golden bridges Tourbillon.

- The WW TC Tourbillon.

In the most human, heeerm, affordable range:

- The Vintage 45 Chrono, in platinum.

- The W TC No Chrono, just World Time ( a superb surprise ).

- The Chrono Vintage GP 70.

- The latest Chrono Vintage 66 ( a killing piece, very well made ).

- And, of course, this great Foudroyante!

The dial and the case are awesome.

Yes, this timeless and very elegant watch is a very tempting choice.

Your next?

Best,

Nicolas

Hi,

I've handed it at the last SIHH and I can easily say it's this one:



Here it is for more info:  gp.watchprosite.com /

Cheers

But if I had the cash to spare, I would be happy with any of the Opera models, anything with an in-built slot machine or any version with 3 gold bridges. Any or All

Regards,

Richard

That one is one of my favourite GP watches amongst many others.  Too many to list here.  Wear it in good health, mate.

I had the opportunity to try this one on yesterday and I have to agree -- this is a stunner.

Here is my John Harrison edition in white gold

and since I love GP very very much
I'll add few more of my favorite GPs

Would be very happy with these one...At the exception of the slot machine, which doesn't speak to me.

But the others...

Best,

Nicolas

speaks to me that I'm bit crazy :0))))

the 3 bridges. For the chronos, the killer is the 90170 (sorry dont have a picture). But like you, I also like the foudroyante. Here's the pilot dial titanium version

problem is finding one.

Having been a GP fan since my early times as a watch fan, being also a sports fan I always loved the Foudroyante, also in the vintage 45 square dial.  But being a simple man I had to scale down my ambitions, but I fell in love with this one some years ago, and everytime I wear it, it looks good.

Vintage 1970 Chrono

I like this chrono as well. The cambre shape, the simple 2-dial layout with arabic numerals and the rectangular pushers all work so well together. And with the unusual 60 minute counter instead of 30 or 45. I was briefly in the hunt for this and got sidetracked....as usual..

Glad you like the composition.  If you like this pic, watch some of my other posts...Matt

This one was my favorite watch for a long time twenty years ago.

 

I also love the Laureato Evo Sapphire Tourbillon, it's a super cool watch, would love to wear it sometimes.

 

The 1966 collection looks fantastic too.  And I miss a lot my F1 048, it was a pleasure to wear and the carbon fiber dial was awesome.

Of all the GPs I've ever seen, I like it the most..
GP Laureao Olimpico limited (999 pieces)

 

but one can certainly dream.
