Laureato 8010 anthracite grey dial on the wrist

 

Love this combination of rose gold, steel and the grey dial.

This rare bird 🦢 was the first laureato to House a mechanical calibre. The GP 3100.
36 mm case diameter and 7.9 mm thick. It is the very definition of sporty elegance IMHO.

The 8010 is a most 30 years old. Still accurate +-4 seconds. Fully supported by GP.

Points of interest:

1. No GP logo on the dial
2. No “Laureato” on the dial. Instead it is engraved on the caseback.
3. This is the first time that GP
Embraced the nickname of “Laureato” to the watch itself.
4. Numbers made in 2-tone? 800 in total across dial colors and metals. So I estimate that 150 made in rose gold and steel with the anthracite grey dial.
5. Future collectors item? I think so. It reminds me very much of the VC 222
6. NEO-vintage. (Not vintage)
7. Good price to value? I think so. The calibre 3100 is very similar to the current production 03300. The cal 3100 was used in by many famous brands such as Vacheron Constantin.

Looks aside, I love having a slice of the past that has strong heritage and significance for the brand. 🤝

Nice one Marc. I'm coming around on two tone watches . . . in this case, quite tasteful, imo.

One thing I do wish all brands would get away from is the word "Automatic" on the dial. It just doesn't add much although, perhaps, 30 years ago it meant more on this particular reference. Thanks for sharing. M4

Thanks Dan. 2-tone used to be associated with tacky. But upon further inspection, I have come to appreciate the execution by certain brands with certian models to be quite the opposite

I think the laureato 8010 is a special pieces that many are yet to realize. It is as rare as the original VC 222 and it is of exceptional quality. We are reminded that case and bracelets for this specific model was made by the same folks that made for AP ...
