Collecting watches is a deep deep rabbit hole, not only is there always something new to discover but even when you got something, there are variations that are hard to pass. A special charm have pairs that closely belong together, be it the same reference with different dials or closely related references. Let me share some stunning examples.
Disco Volante Girard-Perregaux 8772 W and 8772 V
One in yellow gold and one in steel with different dial styles, but undoubtedly the same cool design. There is something special about these UFO cases or Disco Volante. Hard to find, even harder in top condition.
Girard-Perregaux Ellipse horizontal and vertical black target dial 9627 KA and 9628 KA
Here the pair theme plays with direction, a vertical ellipse case and a horizontal ellipse case. The special twist of this pair is the dial, dark black with an inner white ellipse ring, looking a bit like a shooting target. Super cool pair.
Girard-Perregaux Arrow-head Crosshair dial, 7372 and 6250 A
Another pair with a different twist. Here we have 2 different cases hence 2 completely different references yet both have the same dial with the distinct crosshair with arrow-heads. Rare and rarer (7372) yet nothing like anything else.
Girard-Perregaux hand-painted dials 9034 FG and 9034 FK
And finally the somewhat famous and sought-after Dot Dial with those hand-painted growing dots. Some people see a moon-phase in it, I believe the white crescent just gives the dots a more 3-dimensiol look. Paired with the Flags Dial (almost impossible to find).
