Girard PerregauxLaureato Chronograph

Girard Perregaux’s iconic Laureato was first launched in 1975 and was named after the Italian film ‘The Graduate’. The original Laureato was famed for its integrated bracelet and distinctive bezel that would develop into the octagonal shape, beloved of the line. These are touches still much in evidence with contemporary models.

This 2021 Laureato results from the company’s recent collaboration with the iconic carmaker Aston Martin after its recent re-entry to Formula 1. The two companies have a combined 330-year-old history in their respective fields, and this limited edition of just 188 pieces pays tribute to both brands’ heritage. The ‘’Aston Martin Green’’ dial features a diamond-like pattern found on the company’s logo and quilted seats during the 1920s. Powering the watch is the in-house calibre GP03300, an automatic movement boasting a 46-hour power reserve. This is the first Laureato with an open case back so that the beautifully finished movement can be admired at all times.

This example is presented still sealed in the bag and includes the original wooden box, papers and warranty card.
