Girard Perregaux “Vintage 1945”

Founded in 1791 in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Girard-Perregaux stands among the most historic and respected names in Swiss watchmaking. Known for its technical innovations and timeless design language, the maison has consistently blended tradition with elegance, creating timepieces that embody refined craftsmanship and enduring style.

The Girard-Perregaux Vintage 1945 Ref. 25850.0.52.1051 captures this philosophy perfectly. Presented here in 18k yellow gold, the watch embodies the Art Deco inspiration of the original Vintage 1945 line, a collection designed to celebrate the elegance of the mid-20th century. Its harmonious rectangular case, gracefully curved to follow the wrist, reflects the maison’s mastery in both design and ergonomics.

Powered by the automatic caliber GP 3300—renowned for reliability and precision—this example dates to the mid-1990s, a decade when Girard-Perregaux reaffirmed its position as a true manufacture. The timepiece has been just carefully serviced and remains in excellent condition, offered with its original leather strap and matching GP deployant clasp, a detail much appreciated by collectors.

Beyond its technical and aesthetic virtues, the Vintage 1945 gained notable recognition as the wristwatch of choice for actor Pierce Brosnan, whose refined style perfectly complemented the elegance of this reference. Whether worn as a daily companion or as part of a curated collection, this Girard-Perregaux Vintage 1945 stands as a testament to the brand’s enduring artistry and its place in the pantheon of fine Swiss horology.
