Quick TakeThis ain't your grandpa's dress watch. The Girard-Perregaux Vintage 1945 XXL Large Date and Moon Phases is a symphony of style and substance. It's Art Deco done right, with those sleek lines and curves that whisper sophistication. But don't be fooled – under the sapphire glass beats a mechanical heart with some serious engineering chops. That big date display? Pure genius. And the moon phase? It's the cherry on top, a reminder that even the most precise machines can have a touch of poetry. This watch isn't just about telling time; it's about celebrating craftsmanship, innovation, and the sheer joy of wearing a piece of mechanical art.

DescriptionThe Girard-Perregaux Vintage 1945 XXL Large Date and Moon Phases (ref. 25882-11-223-BB6B) boasts a rectangular stainless steel case, masterfully curved to achieve a harmonious balance of straight lines and gentle arcs. Measuring 36.10 mm by 35.25 mm, with a thickness of 11.74 mm, the case houses the GP03300 self-winding mechanical movement, visible through the sapphire crystal caseback. This meticulously crafted caliber operates at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz), comprising 282 components and 32 jewels. With a clockwise winding direction, it ensures a power reserve of at least 46 hours.

The watch's sapphire dial showcases the intricate mechanics within, including the patented large date mechanism, a hallmark of Girard-Perregaux's ingenuity. This innovative feature utilizes two ultra-thin discs, one for the tens and one for the units, to display the date seamlessly without any visual separation. The dial also hosts a captivating moon phase display, adding a touch of celestial elegance to the timepiece. Complementing the dial are dauphine hands delicately curved to match its contours. Applied Arabic numerals and a railway minute track further enhance the Art Deco aesthetic. The watch is secured to the wrist with a black alligator leather strap fastened by a steel folding buckle. While the watch exhibits a water resistance of 30 meters, it is not intended for diving or prolonged immersion in water.
