Turning fifty is a big deal, even for a watch! Girard-Perregaux is celebrating half a century of their iconic Laureato with a fabulous limited edition timepiece – meet the Laureato FIFTY. Limited to just 200 pieces, it’s a tribute to five generations of in-house designed, developed, and crafted elegance.
The Laureato FIFTY keeps up the family tradition with its octagonal bezel, offering a playful dance of satin and polished finishes, catching the light just right. Its sunray grey dial features the Clous de Paris pattern, paired effortlessly with 3N gold accents, a unique double-arrow seconds hand, and a discreet date display at 3 o’clock.
For those who love to sneak a peek at the intricate workings, flat sapphire crystals on both the front and back are there to give you that clear view. The bracelet is a perfect nod to the original design with its steel and yellow gold construction, tapered ‘H’ links for a cozy fit, domed gold central links for depth, and a triple folding clasp with fine adjustment for that perfect wrap-around hug.
This latest edition ticks on with the help of the GP4800 caliber. It’s the latest in-house marvel from the manufacture, boasting a silicone escapement and variable-inertia balance for smooth sailing. Once you strap it on, you’ll appreciate the emphasis on energy efficiency and longevity – because who doesn’t love a watch that’s both handsome and efficient?
Since its birth in 1975, the Laureato has gracefully danced the line of evolution without stepping on its heritage. For over five decades it’s been the poster-child of understated luxury and precision.
