Girard-PerregauxVintage 1945Model No: 25800.0.52.117

Girard-Perregaux Vintage 1945 Moonphase Big Date 25800.0.52.117 channels the house’s long heritage in an elegant rectangular package. The 32mm 18k rose gold case sits with poised restraint on the wrist and frames a silver dial whose composition feels perfectly considered. At 12 o’clock a large double date commands attention with instant change clarity, while the moonphase and small seconds at six provide balance and a gentle sense of movement across the lower half of the dial. Floral-style Arabic numerals and a railroad minute track give the face a period feel without becoming fussy.

Inside, the automatic calibre GP03300 family supplies reliable performance and finishing to match the case. The movement runs at 4 Hz and stores roughly 46 hours of power, and the sapphire caseback lets you admire the rotor and Côtes de Genève finishing. A brown alligator strap and deployant clasp complete the look, adding warmth that pairs naturally with the rose gold case. This Vintage 1945 Moonphase Big Date is a watch for those who favour refined proportions, considered complications and a quietly assured vintage temperament.

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.
