I like the newly updated Laureato line very much. It is very handsome.

There is a ladies version "Laureato 34 mm Royalty" with an incredible blue dial... you have to see it in person. I was truly hypnotized! GP told me that they also could produce a men's watch with this dial as a special order!

Hands-on with the Girard-Perregaux Laureato Chronograph 42mm, Ref 81020

 
 By: crown comfort : May 24th, 2018-08:50
Finally, I have been able to take the Girard-Perregaux Laureato Chronograph hands-on and report on it with my personal impressions. Ever since it’s rebirth in 2016 with the Anniversary Laureato, the Laureato has quickly become a key successful line for Gi...  

Absolutely TOP CLASS review

From start to finish. Really great review.

Many thanks for the kind words, Baron

it does help writing a review when you have true feelings for a watch and I have to say, I'm head over heels with the Laureato Chronograph.

Adding to the imagery evidence

crown comfort, I agree with your summary after a personal inspection of the new Laureato family. The 904L steel alloy used is the same as Rolex and I don't know of current users of that steel amongst the big brands. It allows for fine finishing as seen he...  

Thanks for the extra info, CJ.

So is "Oystersteel" just a marketing name for 904L?

I like the newly updated Laureato line very much. It is very handsome.

I will post about some Ladies watches in some time and indeed the royal blue dial is truly stunning, I confirm. Let's stay away from price discussion, in the end it's a personal choice. Best, CC

Ha, you are getting ahead of myself ;)

not yet, I'm seriously targeting it, but not yet, not yet

Vlading about, I see. [nt]

Thanks, my friend and I'm of course with you ;)

I see you have your hands on one of the 225 blue Anniversary Laureato's...there should not be many left.

Very cool watch, my friend.

I love the dial and especially the blue hands. I say go for it.

Thanks Mr. White with a love for blue ;)

It's a cool watch for sure and I think I have no choice...

Superb review and photos! Thank you for your time and effort. Much appreciated! I'm still looking forward to seeing one....

i went to a local AD (well, the Bon Marché) and GP is no longer on sale there, so I'll need to make more of a trek to see one.

Thanks CJ, glad you enjoyed it and I hope to be of inspiration

 
 By: crown comfort : May 25th, 2018-05:46
definitely go and see it yourself, it makes a huge difference. Even a trip to the Moon and back would be worthwhile Pity that your local AD dropped GP

Fine review, CC!

You sold me! ...  

I told you....! ;)

And I agree, the full blue is the one I would go for as well! I like the other dials, but in the end... I am Mr. Blue! Best Blomman

This brand is beyond awesome!

The one on the left black and blue sub dials will be my next purchase. It’s a fraction of the price of AP and Patek and In my opinion same horological value. Looks wise it’s a stunner!

Many thanks Ripper.

and glad to read you like it. the Laureato Chrono will also be my next purchase.

Great Write-Up & Review, dear CC !.. Splendid pics as well, of course.. Have bookmarked it also.. That 904L steel really renders a very special shine, even on the photos..

The plays of light on the clous-de-Paris dial, must be fascinating. Guess, this one needs to be seen in the metal, and tried on the wrist of course.. Alltogether that one ticks a number of boxes, and the Blue/Blue is very attractive, IMHO.. Thx for your v... 

My sincere pleasure, dear HS

 
 By: crown comfort : May 31st, 2018-11:52
you are absolutely right, to be seen in the metal with good natural light. It has gotten on the top of my wish list.

I nearly missed this review. One solid looking watch

One solid review by CC!
