Girard Perregaux

After wanting to buy a watch for a special occasion and reading a lot of the excellent posts in this forum, I have decided to buy my first GP watch. The quality of the photos is not very good as they are taken from my mobile phone (and I am just an absolute amateur photographer!) but I can't tell you how happy I am with it. There are many good features of it (perpertual calender in stainless steel, blue Breguet-styled hands. leaf shaped hands in the sub-dials, tonneau case and font of the indices...) which capture my heart. The silver dial reflects daylight brilliantly as well.

I am glad that I have joined the GP fans club here... 

Cheers

 

WOW!

I have never seen this particular model before!

Can you please tell us more about it? Old, new?

Congrats on a beautiful watch

Thanks fai9al_429. It is brand new but I believe GP does not do it anymore. It is a limited edition of 50.

The model is Richeville perpetual with the GP033Q0 automatic movement.

One thing I forgot to mention is the GP box (with winder) that comes with it. It is certainly the biggest watch box I have seen for a single watch. I reckon it weighs at least 15lb....

Cheers

...on your new Richeville perpetual!  I think there are only 50 of this model around the world.  Welcome to the forum, and hope you enjoy your new watch.  I always like tonneau-shaped timepieces.  Yours is very attractive.

Cheers,
Daos

your pics really capture the texture of the dial's outer ring--I be it shimmers in the Golden Hour!

congrats--beautiful! wear in the best of health

You picked a winner right there. All class.

The Richeville case is very striking, but a most reasonable size at 37x10.5mm. And a limited edition of 50 pieces in steel just adds to the interest. The blued Breguet hands against the textured sliver dial look great.

 

Congratulations on your choice for this special occasion.

 

Regards

Congrats wear it well.

GPRL,

Congratulations!

 

I am amused that your 1st G-P watch is only a complicated perpetual calendar. 

Can you imagine what complications your 2nd and 3rd watches will be?! 

 

Start at the top, I always say.

 

Regards,

MTF

Thx MTF. I have not actually thought about it and it is a very good question. There are other GP pieces which I am aspired to own. Until then, I'll enjoy this piece.

Cheers

Is it a Richeville?

 

Enjoy it, and thanks for sharing.

Thx VMM. It is indeed a Richeville. Cheers.

Very good taste! I particularly like the Breguet numerals which really add to the look. It's a great piece you have there.

Have been really busy lately. Here are some more pixs.

It was a long time that I didn't see one, here or there.

Love this Tonneau case.

Congratulations!

Nicolas.

Congratulations on your first!
