I am actually making a path so my dog can run in the backyard! The things we do for our beloved 4 legs companion! The Laureato seems to be glued to my wrist for some reason this week 😉

The last picture is a better representation of the dial color. Don’t know why it comes out brownish in picture but it’s really more salmon inside and copper under the sun

Key Points from the Discussion

The Laureato 8010, at 36mm, wears like a 38mm and is an underrated, rare reference that collectors should seriously consider.
The bronze dial of Chronometer's Laureato is highly regarded, with some collectors considering it among the best in the range, alongside the 'Ghost' edition.
Collector tastes can evolve, with some finding appreciation for neo-vintage and two-tone models, such as the Laureato 8010 and 8017 Olimpico, which offer a retro feel.
The Laureato 8017 Olimpico with a blue dial and two-tone bracelet is an extremely rare find, commanding a significant premium in the market.
The dial color of Chronometer's Laureato shifts from salmon indoors to copper under sunlight, a characteristic that is difficult to capture accurately in photographs.

I recently got the iPhone 14 Pro Max instead of the 13 and it’s a major upgrade on the camera side as well…all I can say is this will not be my last Laureato!

And your version is one of the best within the Laureato range! The size is perfection, and that bronze dial is to die for! I would say that this one and the Ghost to be my absolute favourites!

I think it’s awesome that you’re wearing it while doing some work Vs not babying it! Enjoy it!
