Paying homage to the popular Art Deco design of the 1920s, this Vintage 1945 is also an embodiment of the maison's rich heritage.
Why we love it
The Girard-Perregaux Vintage 1945 takes inspiration from the Art Deco design. The 1920s or the Roaring 20s saw a massive shift in design aesthetics where the watches went from being timelessly round to geometric style, and Vintage 1945 harnesses that bold sophistication mixed with contemporary nuances.
On this reference 25810 11 151 BACA, the case takes a rectangular form with a convex profile, allowing it to sit comfortably on the wearer's wrist. It strongly carries angular and rounded curves that perfectly hammer home the 20s sensibility, manifesting a vintage appeal. The smooth polished finish adds a soupcon of classiness to the case, along with brushed surfaces for contrast. It measures 32mm to complement the modern taste and is paired with a brown leather strap.
The dial flaunts neatly-arranged calendar functions. While the day and month windows are placed on the front face accompanied by the brand signature, the date is marked on an inner chapter ring. The hands and Arabic numeral markers are rendered in a rose gold shade, and additional functionality is furnished by the presence of a minute scale on the dial’s periphery. Visible through the exhibition caseback, this Vintage 1945 Triple Calendar uses calibre GP033MO, promising a power reserve of 46 hours. Overall, this watch is a beautiful juxtaposition of vintage roots and modern style, all underscored by Girard-Perregaux's ingenuity.
With a well-maintained case and a firm leather strap, this Girard-Perregaux Vintage 1945 Triple Calendar 25810 11 151 BACA is in fair pre-owned condition.
Provenance
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.
Please note all our transactions with sellers are conducted via registered banking channels, accompanied by a signed affidavit, banking proof, and PAN card.
A specific affidavit stating the watch is not a stolen property and that all applicable duties have been paid is also obtained from the seller and is available for buyers in case of legal requirements.
We strive to build trust through transparency and diligence, outlining our verification process and the inherent limitations. Our commitment to integrity shapes every transaction, prioritising your confidence while acknowledging the realities of the pre-owned watch market.
