Welcoming the Girard-Perregaux Laureato Evo3 Large Date Moonphase 80185 into the collection

Friends,

Time for a proper introduction of my latest addition, the Girard-Perregaux Laureato Evo3 Large Date Moonphase with white dial.

First of all, let me thank a very kind member here who helped me source this watch and who provided me with good guidance and support!

While I’m totally smitten by this Laureato, this is only going to be a brief introduction while I want to have a bit longer ownership before provided an in-depth review.

In fact, I have been hunting this model for a few years and in particular was looking at the grey dial version. The ones that came up for sale always had been kind of wrong time, wrong place.

When on a recent visit to the manufacture I was able to try on the white dial version, I immediately knew that I was wrong. The grey is great, but the white is the one for me!

The integration of the large date has been done perfectly on the white dial with the red numbers on white background and the silver polished applied indexes and power reserve and moonphase work better on the white dial as they do not stand out so much but still provide a great light play.

Another big and positive surprise is the bracelet of the Evo3. Very similar to the bracelet of the current production Laureato, but in my view with a better buckle mechanism.

It was also the first bracelet that just fits, never had any desire to adjust with half a link or so.

Right now, it is getting a lot of wrist time and I have to say quite rightly so. Ideal for summer with the bracelet and the light look of the white dial.

Best,

CC
