Girard-Perregaux’s Laureato 38mm in Sage Green and Midnight Blue brings a contemporary touch to an iconic design born during the golden age of integrated bracelet sports watches in the 1970s. While Gerald Genta’s designs often dominate this conversation, the Laureato—crafted by Adolfo Natalini—emerged as a timeless contender, and this modern iteration continues its legacy.
Crafted from robust stainless steel, the Laureato’s octagonal bezel and alternating brushed and polished finishes emphasize its bold yet refined design. It strikes a harmonious balance between wrist presence and wearability at 38mm in diameter and a slender 10.02mm thick. The integrated bracelet further enhances the watch’s seamless appeal, making it as practical as it is stylish.
The Sage Green and Midnight Blue dials, adorned with the signature Clous de Paris hobnail pattern, play with light in fascinating ways. Its subtle green hues often shift to grey, creating a mesmerizing effect that demands a second glance. Flip the watch over, and the exhibition caseback reveals the intricately finished GP03300-2476 automatic movement, complete with a pink gold rotor, 46-hour power reserve, and a smooth 4 Hz frequency.
This Girard Perregaux Laureato is not just a timepiece but a conversation starter. It blends vintage-inspired aesthetics with modern sophistication. Priced at $14,900, it’s a masterclass in Swiss watchmaking for those who appreciate understated luxury.
