Girard Perregaux Vintage 1945 XXL Chronograph Review

From its slim brushed silver dial to the subdial with small blued steel hour and minute hands and chronograph hands, to the almost floral font used on the polished and appliquéd Arabic numerals, this watch has an elegant and classic look despite its sporty features. We should point out that we are examining the model with reference number 25883-52-121-bb6c, which has a rose gold case. This model has a more elegant appearance than the stainless steel models in the series; It comes in an 18 carat rose gold case and has a black alligator leather strap.

There are two already iconic luxury watches with the same rectangular case form. These are the Cartier Tank and of course the Jaeger LeCoultre Reverso. So where does Girard-Perregaux stand in this picture with its Vintage 1945 XXL Chronograph? How does it differ from more iconic watches like the Tank or Reverso?

The Girard Perregaux Vintage 1945 series uses appliqué polished Arabic numerals rendered in a fancy font; Cartier, however, could never do this with the Tank because it would lose the very distinctive look it had been creating for nearly a century.

Let's take a look at the back of the case; You will notice that it curves to accommodate the shape of your wrist. Understandably, the JLC Reverso couldn't have such a curved case design, otherwise you'd never be able to turn the watch. Therefore, in terms of what makes this watch different from other watches in similar form; For those looking for a classic rectangular shaped watch with Roman numerals, a curved back, this model from a highly respected Swiss watch manufacturer is a perfect option.

The back of the case reveals the in-house automatic movement, which is so beautifully crafted that it almost shines in the light! Côtes de Genève lines can be clearly seen on the solid 18 carat rose gold weighted rotor. A circular brushed workmanship technique called Perlage is used on the steel main plate; Côtes de Genève can be seen on the three-quarter plate stuck between the two.

The contrast between these two craftsmanship techniques, combined with the riot of colors created by the yellow balance wheel, blued steel screws and pink rubies, brings Girard-Perregaux Caliber GP03300-064 to life in a way that only an experienced watchmaker can achieve. This 47 jewel self-winding movement oscillates at 4Hz/28'800vph and has a power reserve of approximately 46 hours when fully wound. On the plus side, you can save a lot of money by getting one in perfect condition, worn only a few times, for less than half the list price of just over XXX.
