I like the 38 mm size as well
But the 41 also has a good feel.
I’m “lucky” because I have the 36, 38, 40 (chrono), 41 and 42 mm.
I got the 42 mm because at the time, it was close to impossible to find the 41 mm. And when ever advertised, the 41 mm was like €22,000 on the secondary market.
Have had a chance to try on the 41 mm as well?

Metallic tones
remind me a bit of old race cars or unpainted airplanes from the 50s & 60s. Tough choice between this one and the anthracite you posted the other day, I may have a small preference for the anthracite, would be nice to see them side by side when you ge...
Depends if you value heritage
If yes, then the 81000, 41 mm. Rare and important as it was the first of the complete redesign of the laureato. So it holds provenance as well. If completely based on looks then … it’s subjective. For me, provenance and heritage and rarity are big criteri...
Some pics to compare laureato sizes
The 41 mm thickness is the same as the 38 mm Notice how the bracelet for the 42 mm can break the lines from the case. The 41 mm retains end-link to case integrity and flow. 38 mm 41 mm Dial size of the 41 mm. Dial size if the 38 mm is 27 mm Dial size of t...
