Girard-Perregaux “Vintage 1945” XL Chronograph Automatic, 18kt White Gold, Silver Dial with Rose Gold Applied Arabic Numerals and Hands, Brown Crocodile Strap, Skeleton Back, 18kt White Gold Deployant Buckle .

Being inspired by a vintage watch with an art deco design, this Girard Perregaux Vintage 1945 Square Chronograph (ref# 25820-53-151-BACA) is one of the icons of the brand. Presenting an extra large 18KT white gold case, Silver Dial with Rose Gold Applied Arabic Numerals and Hands, Girard Perregaux Vintage 1945 Square Chronograph utilizes a self-winding Girard-Perregaux movement with a chronograph function and is water resistant at 30 meters. Girard Perregaux
stays true to its name in creating accurate timepieces with perfect classic
designs.

Hereis a first look at something new from the Manufacture at La Chaux-de-Fonds that is Girard-Perregaux:  the new GP Vintage 1945 XL Chronograph, in solid 18kt White Gold.  Girard-Perregaux’s Vintage 1945 collection is perhaps its most understated and elegant, its modern day versions inspired by the retro forms of one of its Art Deco style watches from 1945.   A variety of versions now represent the vintage 1945 collection and it can be said that this new bi-compax chronograph will represent the line well. Although there is a 3-register chronograph date model currently offered, the horizontally aligned, the dual-register layout has a much greater sense of balance and proportion to it and is thus preferable from a purely aesthetic
point of view.

A couple subtleties worth noting here:  the two chronograph counters face each other and bring a nice symmetry to this piece; the blued steel hands match the central seconds hand, and the dauphine-style hour and minute hands match the applied Arabic numerals in Rose Gold. The case also has a beautiful convex shape to it and there is a sapphire case-back for viewing the in-house caliber which is the automatic mechanical chronograph movement.

“VINTAGE1945”

Well before the vintage look had permeated all trends, Girard-Perregaux conceived a collection inspired by the retro forms of one of its Art Deco style watches from 1945. Since then, a variety of versions have drawn up modern interpretations of the unique personality of the Vintage 1945 line, with an incredible wealth of details.

This timeless watch, adorning the wrists of discerning connoisseurs worldwide, is distinguished by its undeniable elegance.
