Laureato 8010 Champagne Dial
A couple of impromptu shots while chilling at home.
This is the original automatic GP Laureato reference 8010 from 1995. Inside beats calibre GP 3100. (1996 saw Vacheron use the same calibre in the Overseas Gen 1)
The champagne dial here is seen rather rarely, especially with the 2-tone bracelet. Indices, hands, bezel ... and yes, center links too ... all solid rose gold.
36 mm x 7.9 mm with 100 m WR. Still running within chronometer specs.
Not bad for a neo-vintage piece from 1995, aye? 💛
Hope everyone is well and enjoying your weekend with the people you care about.

Thanks. I feel the same way.
One of the rarest sports integrated pieces from this period. Most don't know of the 8010 generation 3 as so few were made.
