Thoughts on the "Richeville" Chrono by Girard-Perregaux as a dress watch?

Morning, all-
Decided that I need a nice, 'dressy' watch for nights out, events, etc.
One of my top contenders is a GP "Richeville" chrono- I like the tonneau shaped case, and clean lines. No- it does not bother me that GP is relatively unknown amongst non-WIS types.
Here's a pic: (Stock photo off the net)

Thanks in advance for the input!

It looks great, a classy mix of tradition and sports/chrono.
Is that white gold, or SS?
Looks like its a good size. What are the dimensions?
I am guessing decent thickness from the look of the crown,
so its not 'delicate' - gonna be great for general day use too.

Fine choice, Marc. I like it a lot. May I ask what it retails for?
