Let's continue with our Laureato week. As we enter the second half of the week, we look at the Girard-Perregaux Laureato Evo3 with Large Date, Moon Phase and Power Reserve.


Within the Evo3 range, one of the best versions available. Released in the early 2010s with either white, black or grey dial.


The white dial has the best integration of the Large Date with the white background and red numbers.

BTW: did you know that the GP Large Date mechanism has an instant switch (1/10000 of a second), uses a clever very thin sapphire disc so you cannot visually see the two discs.


When setting the date, the crown is rotated counter-clockwise in Position 1.

Best,

CC

About the Girard-Perregaux Laureato Ref. 80185

The Girard-Perregaux Laureato Evo3 reference 80185 is a notable iteration within the Laureato collection, distinguished by its comprehensive display of complications. This particular reference integrates a large date, moon phase, and power reserve indicator, presenting a more complex and information-rich dial compared to simpler Laureato models. It represents a period in the Laureato's evolution where the design embraced increased functionality while maintaining the collection's established aesthetic.

This Laureato Evo3 features a case typically crafted from stainless steel, housing an automatic movement. The large date mechanism is engineered for an instant switch, a technical detail that highlights Girard-Perregaux's horological capabilities. The watch is fitted with a sapphire crystal, ensuring durability and clear visibility of the dial. The case diameter is 44mm, providing a substantial presence on the wrist, and it offers a power reserve of approximately 46 hours.

Released in the early 2010s, the reference 80185 was available with dial options including white, black, or grey. The white dial variant is often cited for its seamless integration of the large date display, where the white background of the date discs complements the dial color. This reference appeals to collectors seeking a Laureato with advanced complications and a robust, contemporary design.

Definitely one of the top Laureatos as Nicolas has said. Is the moon phase corrected via a side pusher? I have only had this watch on my wrist briefly at a shop and did not notice this detail, being too mesmerized by the dial.

from the early 2010s. A very nice set-up in the sports chic Laureato.
