Girard-Perregaux has just unveiled a timepiece that blends racing adrenaline with high watchmaking precision: the Laureato Absolute Aston Martin F1® Edition. This 44mm three-hander is housed in a Grade 5 titanium case, sandblasted for a matte, technical finish that feels straight off the grid. But what really grabs your attention is the dial—a vivid British racing green with lime-green accents pulled straight from Aston Martin’s Formula One livery.
The partially skeletonized hour and minute hands, inspired by Aston’s road-going models like the DB12, are matched with luminescent baton indices and a date window at 6 o’clock, outlined in eye-popping lime. Under the hood, you’ve got the in-house GP03300 movement, complete with Côtes de Genève finishing, perlage, and mirror-polished screws—a mechanical flex that, ironically, you can’t see thanks to the closed titanium case back engraved with Aston Martin’s emblem.
The matching green FKM rubber strap is more than just a color match—it’s ultra-flexible, rugged, and comes with a micro-adjustable titanium folding clasp that feels custom-fit. Limited to just 88 pieces and priced at $14,300, this Girard-Perregaux is for those who want precision, performance, and pedigree—all in one bold package. It’s fast-lane luxury at its finest.
