This Girard-Perregaux 1966 Date and Moon Phases 49545-11-131-BB60 delivers sophistication and urbanity with its smooth round case — 40mm diameter. On the silver dial, the brand signature sits below 12, while the date and moon phase functions are nestled at six o’clock in a sub-dial. The rest of the dial nails discreet opulence with slim indexes, clean minute scale, and well-designed leaf hands.

While the classic allure exuded by this reference is the highlight of the watch for us, the movement is a close second. The GP calibre03300 is a meticulously-crafted in-house movement composed of 295 components. It has a highly flat construction and flaunts the beautiful Geneva stripping through the sapphire crystal caseback. The power autonomy on offer is 46 hours.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
