I have a watch and I need help identifying the specific model.

If you think you could help, please let me know.

I will send you pictures.

You'd be fine posting them here. I don't have any particular affinity for GP but I can ID most watches.

I know a fair amount about GP.

A good friend of mine is their Regional Manager.

Post the photos or email them to me and I’ll have you an answer shortly, either I’ll know or my friend will.

Here are some of the beauties my friend who is GP’s Regional Manager has sent me photos of. I thought some of you would like to see them, since we are talking about GP.

I don't have a photo hosting service. So, I sent via email.

Which one are you looking to identify? From looking at pictures on the internet, the one in the middle is a three flying bridge tourbillon from 2021 and the last one is a triaxial tourbillon from 2014. Both, very expensive.

BigJoe, I never received an email from you. My email is my username at GMail.

Trapper, those are pics my buddy who is the regional manager at GP sent me, not photos from BigJoe.

My grandfather's watch is a GP. And I've been a huge watch guy for decades. So, while I'm not a particular GP expert, I prob know a bit above average about the vintage stuff. My email is in my profile.

BigJoe, I sent the pics to my buddy who is the RM for GP. Should have an answer shortly.

So my friend, Brandon, said it’s really hard to tell from the photos. He said that it looks to be from 1960’s but unsure. He would like to have a watchmaker look at the movement and see what’s running this.
He said it is definitely a special piece considering the history and the brand.

He said he can have a service package sent to you and it would go to the GP US HQ in Florida where a GP watchmaker would inspect it. If you’re interested, I can get you two in touch.

I would be happy to host/post the photos if you would like.

I do appreciate your efforts. It wouldn't hurt to put me in touch with him to see what I am looking at. Feel free to give him my email, or you can reply via my email and I can contact him. Whatever works best.
