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 XXL Chronograph 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 this Vintage 1945 XXL Chronograph harnesses that bold sophistication mixed with contemporary nuances. 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 37mm to complement the modern taste and is paired with a black rubber strap.
The dial flaunts a tri-compax configuration with tone-on-tone black subdials featuring contrasting white chapter rings with markers. The hands and markers are highly luminous, and additional functionality is furnished by the presence of a date window between four and five-o’clock markers. Visible through the exhibition caseback, this Vintage 1945 XXL Chronograph uses calibre GP 3370. Overall, this watch is a beautiful juxtaposition of vintage roots and modern style, all underscored by Girard-Perregaux's ingenuity.
What you should know
Please note this Girard-Perregaux Vintage 1945 XXL Chronograph carries visible dents and scratches on the bezel. A few light nicks are present on the case and caseback. However, the rubber strap boasts good 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.
