Pardon my ignorance but....
Did you mean 1975? I didn't know they had quartz watches in 1875.....
Girard Perregaux Laureato. Vintage or Modern?
Something I totally forgot is that the first Laureato, issued in 1975, was a Quartz one. And what made me smile is that, when I compare it to the 38 mm modern ones, I prefer the current to the original. I think it is the first time I prefer a modern to th...

Totally agree.

For sure. Everyone’s opinion is

Wow … the OG
I like them both. The modern laureato carries the DNA of the first which is important. Quartz at the time was the difficult one to do. GP had the best. Japanese even license it from them. So the quartz was bold. No one else dared take on the Japanese head...
