Girard Perregaux

Adolfo Natalini did NOT design the orginal Laureato in 1975. GP knows who the designer is but they will only say it was an in-house designer and they will not release his name. After I spoke with Fabrizio (his business partner for over 30 years) last week...  

It’s public information on their website. And it’s part of the proof.

The designer may be in his 70’s now as the laureato is soon to celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2025. At least now we can say concretely who the designer was NOT. 😄

But perhaps folks from the press need to ask this question point-blank during an interview with GP management. Tim Mosso in the house … 😄👋 Either way, at least we know who the designer was NOT. For the longest time, folks assumed it was Adolfo and perhaps...

Ask yourself the same questions… 😅 Bro, you must be a lot of fun at parties. My post was simply to say they Adolfo Natalini was NOT the designer as conjecture implies. That’s it. I did extensive research and made the effort to make calls to Italy and such... 

Anyway I wish you luck and success in your investigations!

I wish you a pleasant day ahead ☀️

One step settled at least. I knew it was not Adolfo and then I thought, why not just ask his business partner. ☺️
