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...
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...
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 "...
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.
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.
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
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)
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!
