Yes.

1. I love this picture and marketing by GP. It appeared yesterday on IG.

2. It’s clear. We did not need Genta to come in a design a watch for us as AP did then Patek and then IWC.

3. Perhaps also to clarify as many still think that Genta designed the laureato as well. Pretty much as they thought they genta designed the Vacheron Overseas too. So GP is being bold and clear and cheeky. 😀

4. Agree they the rolex oyster quartz would is an iconic and rare piece and it get lost sometimes in all the noise from the usual suspects frok the 1970s.

5. The laureato 50th anniversary will come up in 2025. (1975-2025). I don’t think a quartz movement but but I do think something of smaller case size and quite special.

6. I see the laureato models starting to trend to the smaller case size (as with all the other brands). I did a detailed video review of the laureato 36,38,40 (chrono laureato olimpico 8017), 41, 42 mm all side by side if anyone is interested. I can’t post videos here but you can see it at the laureato fan club facebook group if you like.

So yeah, I love this post by GP. I think many are getting tired of the genta name being used to sell watches. The recent IWC iginieur marketing was more about genta than the watch itself. I would go get the originals myself and not both with the re-issue.

Anyway, I was to recognize good marketing when I see it by GP. 👍🏻
