Pre-owned Girard-Perregaux watches from Kettle Club
Girard-Perregaux traces its roots to 1791 and has long been based in La Chaux-de-Fonds, one of the centres of Swiss watchmaking. It is known for its tourbillon with three gold bridges, first developed in the nineteenth century, and pre-owned Girard-Perregaux watches attract buyers who want serious watchmaking from outside the most familiar names.
Since 2015, Kettle Club has offered pre-owned luxury watches from its boutique at 53 Liverpool Street in the City of London. Each secondhand Girard-Perregaux we list sets out its reference, year, condition and what is included, and can be ordered online with free UK delivery or viewed in person.
Choosing a pre-owned Girard-Perregaux
The Laureato, first launched in 1975 and brought back in 2016, is the collection most buyers ask about: a sports watch with an integrated bracelet and an octagonal bezel. The 1966 collection offers classic dress watches, while the Bridges models show the house's tourbillon work at its most visible. Sizes run from compact dress models to larger sports pieces, so it is worth checking case diameter against your wrist.
Buying pre-owned brings earlier Laureato generations and discontinued dials into reach, and it allows condition, service history and paperwork to be compared before anyone commits. Every piece is sourced individually, so what we hold changes from week to week; if a particular reference is not listed, we are glad to note the request and get in touch when one arrives.
Why buyers look at secondhand Girard-Perregaux watches
Collectors drawn to the brand rarely give a single reason. The ones we hear most often are:
- A long record in chronometry and complications
- Distinctive designs such as the Laureato's octagonal bezel
- Finishing that stands up to close inspection
- Watches that are seen less often on other wrists
For a first serious watch or a considered addition to a collection, pre-owned can also mean more choice of year and dial, and a shorter wait. The house's long association with chronometry means many buyers look closely at the movement as well as the dial, and each listing includes detailed photographs so the finishing can be examined before buying.
How each Girard-Perregaux is checked, covered and sent
Before a Girard-Perregaux is listed, our watchmakers check it in-house, looking closely at the case, dial, hands, bracelet and movement, and its details are title-checked through The Watch Register. Each listing states whether the box, the papers or both are included, and our guide to box and papers explains why that matters.
Every watch carries a 12-month Kettle Club warranty, in addition to any manufacturer's cover still running. UK orders travel free by Royal Mail Special Delivery, insured and signed for, and online orders can be returned within 14 days of delivery.
Finance, part-exchange and selling
Finance through Novuna Personal Finance is available on selected watches, subject to status and affordability, and our finance FAQs explain how the plans work. We also take part-exchanges and buy watches outright, so a watch you already own can go towards the next one. Request a valuation.
