I really like the Grand Prix but will it have the same potential wear and tear problem like the Alinghi in consider it is also made by FC?

Yes, GP does suffer from the same issue as the FC Alinghi. However, it's newer, so easier to find an example with less marring, and by then AP has already improved the quality of the FC somewhat. There are also some GPs where the bezel has been replaced with the Ceramic bezel.
However, I'd recommend the Trulli if you can find one. The combination of different materials (Cermet, FC, titanium), textures (FC patterning, RO finishing on the bezel, sandblasted caseback/pushers/crown/plots) and tones on it is simply stunning:
