Fantastic find!
Congratulations on capturing this wonderful G-P. The strap is divine and looks in good condition after so many years. The watch must have been stored well to look so much like new. The 6 and 12 curving of the bezel is the same for the steel versions as is the bevelling of the case lugs to lugs. The dial, hands and indices are fantastic. The watch is timeless - sell the collection and just keep this one! Who needs any more than this?
We are all very envious but greatly admire your tenacity in this wonderful acquisition. We all know someone here who is very envious!

Hmm, what's in the box?
Here we have a nice red vintage GP box... But what could be inside? Ok, another box, looks like new... Look, something is peaking out...39 Jewels, intriguing... Ah, finally, look at this, we have found a 60+ year old virgin! Yes, one of the first Gyromati...

I'm lost for words! Amazing, astounding, astonishing!
But one word summarises it all: CONGRATS!!
Hehehe ! I know your trick my friend, and I am going to disclose it...
You have a time machine and you visit the past where your hunt these beauties and you come back to the present to show them to us. Needless to say that we are all jealous of your time machine... Please bring me with you for your next trip to the past Best...

Too bad but I am not surprised...
The Lucky guys who have a chance to do such a trip usually keep it secret until they come back but never mention it before . It's a very egoistic approach but I could not convince them either, neither Nico btw LOL. They most probably apply Joe's say "I lo...
Killing catch my friend
GP Gang rides again Awesome watch box condition post case shape....... I just flipped Cheers D
Is this a N. American (and Caribbean) export model?
Congratulations CC on an impossible find of a 60-year old virgin! The original Swiss model was in 18K yellow gold for SFr 725. Yours is marked 14K gold. Was it an export model hence explaining it's storage unrecognised? How did its price compare with the ...
Thanks Melvyn
indeed, I have found the watch in the US, so it was likely an export model with a 14K case. Not sure how we can put a value on the 725 SFr from 1955 by today's value, but certainly a lot more
Indeed - North America export model - see the GXM markings on the movement.
That is the North America export code for Girard-Perregaux. Best Blomman
there are only some very few people who deserve a catch like this
and you are certainly on of these very few people. Very happy for you to call this fantastic GP yours.
Now this is a serious find!
Huge congratulation, my friend! This is one you need to show me next time! Here is another document from 1956 featuring the 7050: Best Blomman ...
Thanks a lot, my friend and also for showing the extra Ad
Will show it to you next time, be prepared to be blown away
What a catch, CC!
HUGE CONGRATS! Wear it with the best of your health! I didn\'t know this model, the design reminds me a little of the older Glashütte Spezimatic watches.. Works the movement perfect? Was the watch already serviced? Yours, Adam
Thank you so much, Adam
yes, movement just works, winding is smooth and it runs well on time. I have no info on service history.
Thanks so much, Nico :)
I have to say, on this classic dress watch, the gold works even better than steel. Perhaps we should aim for both
WOW, what a beauty you have got.
There are certain things one needs a bit of luck to find it even money not necessarily an issue. Congrat! I presume the leather band is also vintage. The stitches look hand sewn and the styling is really quite different! Nice.
Thanks for looking, yes a bit of luck was needed
the strap should be the original from the 50ies, so yeah, vintage!
Fantastic find!

Wow! Congrats CC for this once in a lifetime discovery!!...
... it is so exciting to make a find like this! We instantly fall in love and feel we can´t let it pass the opportunity of owning such a unique piece which somehow resisted the pass of time! Enjoy in good health and thank you so much for sharing these bre...
I have a strong suspicion
that the box is from a later period than the watch due to the lack of hyphen in "Girard Perregaux"
