Edit
The color of the steel looks different and supposedly the olimpico did not come in bi metal but the seller did state it was 18k gold? Also did model didn't come with polished finished mostly satin and brushed from what ive seen...its all very confusion an...
True statement
The seller does have 100% feedback but it is a uncommon model and brand so its hard to find points of references as if was a rolex
I can get more information if i ask the seller

Thank you ive been able to find more info on this watch
After many hours of researching its just so hard to find info on Girard-Perregaux in general
Notice that the SS versions say "Manufacture Girard-Perregaux"
Not sure why this is different.
Where does it say that? On the dial or caseback? [nt]

All correct
Hi Jimmy, this is all correct IMHO. There indeed a rare two tone Laureato Olimpico variant. Solid gold interlinks and bezel. Hope you got it. Best, Marc
