Trivia:
- First GP model selected to use the in-house cal 3100
- Designed by Luigi Macaluso, then CEO and owner of GP (Architect by training and a champion race car driver)
- This is the transition model that took the Laureato from quartz to mechanical in the year of its 20th anniversary.

I find this 2-tone pink gold and steel Laureato to be the epitome of Italian design flair.

With a solid gold bezel, links, applied indices and hands, the heft provides the wearer a reminder of its its presence with no apologies.

Yet, with its conservative size and slimness, it also speaks of a quiet confidence embedded in its elegant sporty charisma.

This is the one you wear at drinks after the polo match.

Why do I love GP Neo-vintage?

Hopefully, the pictures will speak for themselves.

As always, I look forward to your questions and comments.
