Thx, kindly !.. I seem to have overlooked it in the last review article..
Was really a cool piece, much more than the current "Biggie",
which has a totally different character 
And actually, I even liked the Evo 3 better than the current offer -
personal bias, of course..
Best, my friend,

The Girard-Perregaux Laureato, 40 years and still fresh
I have not too long ago showed you here in the forum the first release of the GP Laureato. At that time an original Genta design, competing with the Royal Oaks, Nautiluses and 222s. GP.watchprosite.com Over the years during the 80ties, the Laurea...
That was quite a pleasant watch with a strong character.
I would like to see it coming back in the collection, indeed. Best, CC. Nicolas
I love the combo of the Honey color strap and black dial too...
of this Italian limited edition and the use of the Italian flag color theme. It's hard to say if another version, maybe Evo4 will be out. GP is kind of quiet lately and we all know it depends on how sales are doing. Great to see some recommendations on th...
Had overlooked your prev post.. But re-read it, pleasurfully !.. This Evo3 of yours is a mighty boy;
But I guess, with the GP magic trick to make it "smaller" by design factors, to " mold" it around your wrist, to play with the lugs, etc.. Thus, still a big, strong boy, but not without "fortified" charm.. Really like the blue waffle dial, although "eaten...
The history is indeed very interesting
for your question, here is again a photo of Ref 8010. It was available in white, salmon and grey dial, but the grey dial is the most stunning: CC ...

I have the exact same opinion!
One day I (or maybe Blomman is faster) will find a 8010 Laureato and then we can admire it jointly again!
The new Chrono Hawk seems to be the fourth iteration...
to me, not as compelling as the EVO 3 IMHO. A very nice example, Crown Comfort.
The Chrono Hawk
in a sense, it can be considered a successor of the Laureato. Some design elements are still present. On the other hand, it dropped the name. I did go down to the AD with my Evo3 on the wrist to try the Chrono Hawk and compare them side by side. The spark...
Thank you for a great writeup, CC!
I must say that I would very much welcome a "Evo 4"! :) The strong character of the Laureato feels fresh still today. Yours on the tan croco looks awesome! Best Blomman
Thanks my friend, the more I read
the name "Evo4" the more convinced I am this is a good idea :)
