I share your G-P passion and wish I had some more, especially a ref: 2520

Thank you for showing all these models. I add a couple of my Richevilles to the mix, both of which I love with their red touches. Ref: 2730 Ref; 2510

Thanks dear HS

the 2520 Richeville had a size of 32x28mm, while the first re-release of the Vintage 45 (Ref 2595) had a case size of 29x28mm. The Vintage 45 however had the longer characteristic lugs. In comparison, the modern Vintage 45 XXL has a case dimension of 36.2

Wow ! - What a great pictorial & nice pics !.. This Day/night 'type Regulator" is indeed a splendid piece in both metals..

One little Q: what are the dimensions of the 2520 ? (I was wondering also in relation to the Vintage 1945). Thx for this interesting share ! Best & HAGWE ! hs.

Girard-Perregaux Richeville 2520, some fresh shots

Friends, The modern Richeville line is mostly associated with a Tonneau case, but very early in the 90ies, the modern Richeville started as a rectangular watch and the 2520 for me is still one of the finest rectangular watches from GP. Very different than

Richeville's from 1999/2000

I prefer CC's ref: 2520's bezel, which is similar to my ref: 2730 giving them both a more vintage look, enhanced on CC's by the Arabic numbers on the black dial. I do like my ref 2510, which retains the curved lugs of the ref 2520. The date on mine of cou
