This Girard-Perregaux 1966 Date and Moon Phases is a refined example of the brand’s dedication to both design and horological excellence. This timepiece, with its 40mm stainless steel case and silver opaline dial, epitomises a timeless aesthetic, inspired by the elegant watches of the 1960s. The case is polished and features gently curved lugs, lending the watch a soft, rounded appearance that offers a comfortable fit on the wrist. The integration of the strap into the case ensures seamless wearing comfort.

The dial is a study in balance and clarity. Positioned at six o’clock, the moon phase display offers a subtle yet captivating view of the lunar cycle, with a date sub-dial encircling it. The date is clearly displayed on the outer circle providing a precise reading without cluttering the dial. The leaf-shaped hour and minute hands glide gracefully over the surface, while the applied baton indexes to enhance legibility, creating a harmonious layout.

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.
