Catalogue Essay
The Girard-Perregaux manufacture was founded in 1791, and the firm has been at the vanguard of excellence in Swiss watchmaking. It is known as the first vertically integrated Swiss watchmaking company, manufacturing high quality movements, cases, and dials within its own premises. In celebration of its 210th anniversary in 2001, the brand released the present Collection Prestige Vintage 1945, a set of 3 timepieces limited to only 50 sets, each imbued with an elegant Girard-Perregaux design.
In a consistent classic design, all of the three timepieces are adorned with attractive sunray brushed ruthenium dials and encased in platinum cases with triangular lugs. Powered by an in-house automatic movement, each version bears a different complication. The first watch of the three, the reference 2585, features a power-reserve indicator and a date window at 1 to 2 o’clock. The second timepiece, the reference 2599, is a column-wheel chronograph with square pushers. The final watch, the reference 2580, features large date above the brand signature, and a beautiful moon phase indicator at the 6 o’clock. Each of the three watches delivers a unique interpretation of practical elegance, and together they form a perfect harmony of form and function.
Preserved in exceptional condition, and complete with its full set of accessories, this set of 3 splendidly executed Girard-Perregaux timepieces is a wonderful addition to the collection of any discerning collector.
Please note that the proceeds of the sale of the present watch will be given by the Consignor to various charities.

Girard Perregaux
Swiss | 1791Celebrating its 225th anniversary in 2016, the company earned its fame as the first vertically integrated Swiss watchmaking company, manufacturing high-grade movements, cases and dials within its premises. Particularly noteworthy are the brand's three-gold-bridge tourbillon pocket watches built by Constant Girard beginning in 1867 — considered amongst the most beautiful movement architectures ever made. An active participant in Switzerland's observatory chronometry competitions, the brand won so many precision awards that they were excluded from competing in 1901.
Key models include nineteenth and twentieth century pocket watches with three gold bridges, modern tourbillon wristwatches with three gold bridges, minute repeating pocket and wristwatches, as well as sport watches such as the Laureato and Sea Hawk.
