Happy Sunday ☀️ Some shots of the magnificent (and rather rare) Laureato 8010 in pink gold and steel. 7.9 mm thin. 36 mm diameter. 100 meter water resistance. I’m looking forward to the GP marketing 50th anniversary ramp up on the history of the Laureato....  

One foot in the past and the other in a the future.

I'm not usually a fan of two tone watches but all the elements on this one just come together so well and compliment each other. The blue dial with the rose gold hands and hour markers all just work. Wear and enjoy it in good health. Marc

Never really been a fan of 2-tone. For some peculiar reason, it works so well on the laureato 8010. Lots of heft for this one as the inner links and bezel all solid gold. The hands and indices are gold too. Hope you are doing well and your back is not act... 

I treasure them and keep my watches carefully.

Those of us who know how important proportionality is when it comes to watch design. 1 mm can make a massive difference.

I’m like Marc in that I’m usually not a fan of two tone watches but everything on this one looks great. Does it have a solid or display back?

Solid caseback. “Laureato” engraved. This is the first time GP would ever put the word “Laureato” on the watch. Do search “Laureato 8010” in the group. You will see many other posts where I cover why this one is a special reference. ...
