Absolutely. It is a different league, for sure, but once you get it in your mind, it is quite obsessive. [nt]

SIHH 2019 Novelty Review: Girard-Perregaux Laureato Perpetual Calendar, Ref 81035
Friends, let’s continue with more detailed coverage of the novelties from SIHH 2019 from Girard-Perregaux. This time, we will look at the Girard-Perregaux Laureato Perpetual Calendar, Ref 81035. Ok, technically, this watch has not been released at SIHH bu...
Thank you for the detailed review CC
I like this PC, unusual and a bit quirky... Good catch of the leap year indicator. I am really curious to know if it indeed has been modified to make those 180 degree jumps. The one in the 1966 case seems to be working as usual. Please let us know when yo...
Thank you, my friend. I fully agree, it's a very likeable watch
I will find out about the leap year hand and report back. CC
Great review, CC - Thank you!
I think this is a great looking and natural evolution within the Laureato family! The leap year indicator, please report back what you find. The lack of writing on the dial is a great move and gives all the different dials and indicators enough space to "...
Great review, CC.
I love the different finishes on the dial surfaces. But I do find it interesting that you would pick a PC Laureato of all of them. Never took you for a PC lover. Besides, your EoT is still the coolest.
Well, I can sometimes surprise myself
I think the ease of setting this PC is a big plus, it works just like the 1966 EoT. So the 1966 for formal and the Laureato for casual...I think that's a great pair.
Well, the sapphire bridges Tourbillon is a very different league
I still think the new Chronograph is really a good offering, solid case back, 100m WR, great dial and case...just ignore the date window and you will like it
Thanks for very interesting report.
Over all very nice looking watch. Especially I like the dial and its asymmetric layout. I agree with your opinion that central second hand is rather unnecessary (dial looks much clearer on your Laureato Evo3 Large Date / Moon with small second hand)
Love it! Great watch and very excellent post and review, thanks CC. I’m with you on the gold rotor, but I like seeing movement on the dial, so the seconds hand doesn’t bother me. [nt]
I suppose GP put an SS rotor for the principle of keeping gold rotors for gold watches. But, with this complication, they could have/should have made an exception. Anyway, a relatively minor gripe, compared to the overall goodness!
Thanks CJ. As I said, I'm not really sure about the seconds hand, it was just an observation
but I feel the same when it comes to action on the dial, something got to be moving
