Hands-on with the Girard-Perregaux Laureato Chronograph 42mm, Ref 81020
Finally, I have been able to take the Girard-Perregaux Laureato Chronograph hands-on and report on it with my personal impressions. Ever since it’s rebirth in 2016 with the Anniversary Laureato, the Laureato has quickly become a key successful line for Gi...
Many thanks for the kind words, Baron
it does help writing a review when you have true feelings for a watch and I have to say, I'm head over heels with the Laureato Chronograph.
Adding to the imagery evidence
crown comfort, I agree with your summary after a personal inspection of the new Laureato family. The 904L steel alloy used is the same as Rolex and I don't know of current users of that steel amongst the big brands. It allows for fine finishing as seen he...
I like the newly updated Laureato line very much. It is very handsome.
There is a ladies version "Laureato 34 mm Royalty" with an incredible blue dial... you have to see it in person. I was truly hypnotized! GP told me that they also could produce a men's watch with this dial as a special order! ...
Thanks Alex.
I will post about some Ladies watches in some time and indeed the royal blue dial is truly stunning, I confirm. Let's stay away from price discussion, in the end it's a personal choice. Best, CC
Ha, you are getting ahead of myself ;)
not yet, I'm seriously targeting it, but not yet, not yet
Thanks, my friend and I'm of course with you ;)
I see you have your hands on one of the 225 blue Anniversary Laureato's...there should not be many left.
Very cool watch, my friend.
I love the dial and especially the blue hands. I say go for it.
Thanks Mr. White with a love for blue ;)
It's a cool watch for sure and I think I have no choice...
Superb review and photos! Thank you for your time and effort. Much appreciated! I'm still looking forward to seeing one....
i went to a local AD (well, the Bon Marché) and GP is no longer on sale there, so I'll need to make more of a trek to see one.
Thanks CJ, glad you enjoyed it and I hope to be of inspiration
definitely go and see it yourself, it makes a huge difference. Even a trip to the Moon and back would be worthwhile Pity that your local AD dropped GP
I told you....! ;)
And I agree, the full blue is the one I would go for as well! I like the other dials, but in the end... I am Mr. Blue! Best Blomman
This brand is beyond awesome!
The one on the left black and blue sub dials will be my next purchase. It’s a fraction of the price of AP and Patek and In my opinion same horological value. Looks wise it’s a stunner!
Many thanks Ripper.
and glad to read you like it. the Laureato Chrono will also be my next purchase.
Great Write-Up & Review, dear CC !.. Splendid pics as well, of course.. Have bookmarked it also.. That 904L steel really renders a very special shine, even on the photos..
The plays of light on the clous-de-Paris dial, must be fascinating. Guess, this one needs to be seen in the metal, and tried on the wrist of course.. Alltogether that one ticks a number of boxes, and the Blue/Blue is very attractive, IMHO.. Thx for your v...
My sincere pleasure, dear HS
you are absolutely right, to be seen in the metal with good natural light. It has gotten on the top of my wish list.
