Thanks Robin for your input
I think the 38mm Laureato is perfect for your wrist 
Regarding your question. I think I vaguely remember that GP posted something about the dial manufacturing process on their FB page. I will have a look and see if I can find it again and will report back.

SIHH 2018 Novelty: Girard-Perregaux Laureato Chronograph – Live Shots and Review
With the doors of SIHH just closed, let’s take a closer look at this year’s novelties from Girard-Perregaux and start with the Laureato Chronograph. All live shots of the new Laureato credit to Blomman. For the press release announcement you can go back h...
Thank you for your thoughts about this new GP Chronograph dear CC
From my side, I prefer the black dial and blue sub dials version. First, this colour combo is quite unusual and the nicest for me among the three versions. It could be considered as a “BB (Black/Blue) reverse panda” which is pretty cool no? 😋 Second, as I...
Thanks Alkiro
I think your choice is a good one. The black Clous-de-Paris looks really classy and I also think that 42 would be better for you. Case back is solid as seen in one of the photos, so this time they did not allow to unscrew the case back
Thanks Nico.
I think we should give it some time to develop and grow. I also like the Evo3 very much, but I also think the new one is a great modernisation of the Laureato Olimpico of which I'm a big fan.
Nice summary.
I didn't know there was a 38 mm version, I like it. The blue dial is my favorite. Thanks for sharing. Vte
Thanks Vte.
Yes, 38 and 42 mm should provide the right size for everyone. IT's great to have a choice in size.
Excellent review, my friend!
I think this one will be very successful version of the Laureato! Good to see the link between the 8017 and the Evo3. Will come back with my personal view on this new model. Thank you for this post! Best Blomman
Excellent review.....
......takes me through the process so well. No.....actually gets me thinking...."Uhm, which one should I go for?" I love the pictorial story and the accompanying facts and details of the evolution too. Great job. Joe
Thanks Joe. The heritage and evolution is so important in my view
I see you have the same problem...which one to get???
Good propositions from GP there
The offer of two very sensible sizes is brilliant and also the more elegant new looks. A solid case back was the right decision the movement albeit in-house, is a week point of the watch. But the watch makes it up with a very appealing look!
Great report
GP seems to be aware that a sporty model is important, BUT can't be the main line, unless you want to focus on one model only (like AP). Their current production is wide in terms of models. Laureato is the icing on the cake
Great info CC
What more can you say about the GP 03300 chronograph movement? Is there an old post about it? I'm curious to find out more. I guess it is a modular movement with chronograph on top of a base movement? Is it chronometre grade? Robust? Thanks! -joe
Thanks Joe.
I would need to do a search if there is more detail in the forum about the Chronograph caliber. It is indeed a modular design sitting on top of the in-house automatic movement. CC
Youhave done us a nice service with this review, CC.
Unfortunately you have probably done my wallet a disservice later on this year.
We share same favorite
Excellent post dear CC and amazing pictures with beautiful backdrop Reference post for this year Laureato line. Cheers D
Very nice report & splendid pictorial, CC !.. Great to see the different versions of cases & colors & strap variations !..
.. on my humble personal side, from the ones shown, I guess I‘d also pick the 42mm, black Clous de Paris & blue subcounters, because of a more favorable contrast.. But I guess one would really see them side by side.. What I wondered also, is there also th...
Thanks, dear HS. My pleasure sharing my views
at this time, there is no grey dial version of the Chronograph. I guess the closest is the black with blue subdials.
Wonderful review...
... this new Laureato Chronograph is, I think, one of the most standing-out novelties in this SIHH, but it was so stealthy that not many people noticed - Girard-Perregaux came out with so many super novelties! For me, the winner is 42mm "panda" version. I...
I really like these and can't wait to see them, and see how the chrono movement "feels".
It's tough for me to pick a favorite at this time, but I'm surprised by how much I really like the blue (while I prefer the grey for the time/date model). I'm also a big fan of the panda, but less the black/blue, as I just am not a huge blue/black fan. I ...
Many thanks CJ.
I share the same "problem" with you in deciding which one to pick. I think it will take a longer decision process with lots of trying on... Best, CC
The Laureato range is growing on me!
thanks cc for the report . I just tried the 38mm Laureato today. The 42mm version is too large for my small 6.25 inch wrist. Quick question - are these Laureato dials engine turned like in the AP RO ? I guess not for the price (probably stamped dials). CC...

Making of Laureato dial
Hi Robin, I found the series with the making of the dial and I pasted here some photos from GP. It's not really clear from the text how the Clous de Paris pattern is applied, the hour markers and the GP logo are stamped out and applied after. Sorry, not a...
Thanks a lot cc !!
nice pics of the dial manufacturing ! when you have the chance could you ask GP for me on my question? I suspect it will be an interesting fact for many PuristS Cheers Robin
Some info, I received
Hi Robin, got a quick reply, so I can provide some more details. The dials of the Laureato are stamped. GP also does some hand guilloche, but the quantities of the Laureato make that not possible. Hand guilloche is mostly used on the Haute Horlogerie watc...
