Girard-PerregauxVintage 1945Model No: VINTAGE 1945 LIMITED 2585

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 the Vintage 1945 harnesses that bold sophistication mixed with contemporary nuances. This case of this reference 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 black leather strap.

The dial flaunts a legible configuration with a tone-on-tone grey sub-dial measuring small seconds at nine o’clock. A power reserve indicator sits betwixt three and six Arabic numeral hour markers, and additional functionality is furnished by the presence of a date window at one. Visible through the exhibition caseback, this Vintage 1945 Platinum uses calibre GP 3370. Overall, this watch is a beautiful juxtaposition of vintage roots and modern style, all underscored by Girard-Perregaux's ingenuity.

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.
