What a great article, what a superb watch !.. Love your comprehensive pictorial, with great shots !
.. on a personal account, this very 8010 in blue
is still on my list, but last time I rather went for
my blue choice of 2018, the VC Overseas,
despite it‘s price-tag..
But honestly, a certain „itch“ does not go away,
it‘s still in my head.. Although I expect it may
be not too easy to find (?)
Guess, if a nice one would come up, I‘d be
really in serious trouble !
Best, my dear friend !

Underappreciated Girard-Perregaux’s from the 1990s – Part II: Girard-Perregaux Laureato 8010
Friends, Time for Part II of our little series of underappreciated Girard-Perregaux watches from the 1990s. In Part II we will look closer at the Girard-Perregaux Laureato 8010. You may argue that with the re-launch of the Laureato in the current collecti...
Always drawn to this style in GP......
Another great review and a very interesting watch to consider. Of course, the drawback to this theme is that there is a natural tendency to wait until all parts are finished to evaluate......leaving the best to last theory.
Thank you, Baron.
I can see the drawback, but then... no need to limit to only one not sure I ordered the Parts with a "best-for-last"
i definetly will ,
actually checked some sites but the couple I found was w the roman numerals which isn t my cup of tea, the single security clasp is to die for .
Great and interesting post, CC!
Yes, the 8010 is for sure a future classic (if not already)! Please keep up the great work! Best Blomman
My pleasure, Blomman
three more to come in this series, then it will be time to leave the 90s for a while 😄
Excellent report.
I would agree that the blue Clous de Paris dial is the nicest example. You can really see that GP have done a very nice job of retaining what was great about this 90s Laureato with the new ones of the last couple years.
What a great article, what a superb watch !.. Love your comprehensive pictorial, with great shots !

Thanks HS, glad you liked my little write-up
and I can poison you a little bit with these little 90s marvels. As you said, finding a good steel 8010 with blue dial is quite a challenge...but with some patience and some luck... Just once you see one, don't hesitate! Best, CC
Well, there is no real rush, as I have several blue ones (LC3072 Memov, Master Memov Boutique Edition, JLC E3076, VC Overseas..
.. but still.. Let‘s see what will be in the future.. Somewhat a bit unfortunate, that good patience is not one of my virtue. Nevertheless, I‘ll hang in.. Thx again & Best for the week !! hs.
