What is the Girard-Perregaux Laureato?
Introduced in 1975, the Laureato was one of the first luxury sports watches with an integrated bracelet: an octagonal bezel set on a round base, over a tonneau-shaped case. It reached its 50th anniversary in 2025 and remains the backbone of the collection.
What are the five historic signatures?
- Three Bridges architecture, Girard-Perregaux’s nineteenth-century signature.
- Grand Feu enamel, a craft the house traces back to the 1790s.
- The Laureato design of 1975.
- Clous de Paris decoration, extended onto the movement.
- A micro-rotor, which keeps the tourbillon movement slim.
Two centuries of craft, compressed into 10 millimeters.
