    Vintage Girard Perregaux '1945'

    After another close fought bidding war at 4am, this lovely looking number will be winging its' way to me from shores afar......ah.....















    I just love the design of these old GPs, it's interesting to see how this shape evolved into what is now their '1945' design, except this is the real '1945' :mrgreen:

    Will post some more shots in due course when it arrives against a modern version for comparison.

    That's a beautiful thing.

    Form movement and handsome lugs.

    Come from US?
    Cheers,

    Yes it is from the US in both senses, as the inner case marking showing that it is a US piece, movement probably swiss, but cased up in the USA by different makers such as Wadsworth, Star Watch Co, Keystone and Bell&Ross.

    It's only gold filled (not my thing usually, got to be stainless, or solid precious metal) but so damn difficult to find one like this I made an exception.
