The Girard-Perregaux Vintage 1945 is one of the brand's most recognized design lines. Its tonneau-inspired rectangular case traces back to a storied GP heritage. The Infinity Edition sits at the top of that line, and this reference, 25882-11-631-BB6B, pairs the silhouette with an onyx index dial in stainless steel.
This review covers what the supplied specs mean on your wrist. It also covers what we see at the desk when buyers ask about this reference. We will tell you what to check before you buy and who this watch is really for.

What the specs mean on the wrist
The case is 36mm stainless steel. That is a measured, classic size for a dress watch. The tonneau shape reads narrower than a round 36mm, so it sits close to the wrist and tucks under a cuff. The leather strap keeps the look formal and clean. This watch arrives brand new, so there is no service history to worry about yet.
The onyx index dial is the detail that separates this reference from other Vintage 1945 examples. Onyx has a depth and luster that a printed or lacquered dial cannot match. The indexes sit against that dark stone face and create strong contrast. It is a dial you notice up close, not just across a room.
The dealer’s take
Buyers who ask for this reference at the desk usually come in knowing the Vintage 1945 line already. They want the rectangular case and the GP heritage, and they want something that steps up from a standard dial. The onyx face is the reason they land on this specific reference. They ask about how the tonneau shape wears day to day and whether the 36mm case reads small on a larger wrist.
The brand-new condition matters to a lot of these buyers too. They want the box, the papers and the knowledge that nobody has worn it. That is exactly what this example offers. Because new-condition Infinity Edition pieces are not common, we recommend reaching out directly to talk through what is available.
What to check before you buy a Vintage 1945 Infinity Edition
- Confirm brand-new status: Ask for the full box and all original papers. A brand-new watch should have no signs of wear on the case edges, lugs or buckle.
- Inspect the onyx dial: Onyx is a natural stone and it can chip or crack if mishandled. Check the dial surface under good light for any fractures or chips before you accept the piece.
- Verify the reference number: The reference 25882-11-631-BB6B should appear on the documentation and on the caseback. Confirm both match before completing any purchase.
- Check the leather strap: Even on a new watch, confirm the strap shows no creasing, stitching gaps or odor. A fresh strap should look and feel unworn.
Who the 25882-11-631-BB6B is for
This watch is for the buyer who wants a formal dress piece with real material substance. The onyx dial lifts it past standard dress-watch territory. The 36mm tonneau case suits a buyer who prefers a refined, low-profile fit on the wrist. It works best for someone drawn to GP's rectangular design history and who wants a new example rather than a pre-owned one.
Alternatives worth considering
- Girard-Perregaux Vintage 1945 with a different dial reference — A buyer who wants the same tonneau silhouette but prefers a different dial material or color often cross-shops within the Vintage 1945 line.
- Girard-Perregaux 1966 — A buyer who loves GP but prefers a round case sometimes compares the 1966 before committing.
