Bad timing …Wempe edition of 188 pcs
Black onyx stone dial … just have stumbled on a slightly used piece and always loved it however dont have the budget to get it at this point … GP Laureato Black Onyx stone dial … any love for this ? ...
Based on auction history for the brand wait a few years and you should be able to get one around
60-70% of AD asking price. Great looking watch but the brand hasn’t traditionally held its retail value.
A lot of love
This was the first “modern” laureato that caught my attention. I have it in my collection and it makes me smile. ...
We are purists 😃
No hole in the dial. I too don’t like date windows. But Nicolas is pretty much the king of disliking date windows. I can live with them. I think it more the lack of symmetry that bothers some about date windows. Perhaps that’s why Nicolas thinks it’s ok o...
Personally, I think this is a fabulous looking watch.
To my eye, with that combination of bracelet and case it looks like a RO Jumbo and a PP Nautilus got together and had a love child 😉. The date window is discrete and practical. No one I know complains about the date window on a 15202 or a 5711.

The laureato came out before the Nautilus and sorry, AP doesn’t have the copy-write of all watches with an octagonal bezel. But yes, appreciate that you do think it’s a fabulous watch. 🥰 The laureato is way more comfortable than my royal oaks. But I like ...
You mean you actually use your watch to
tell the time? 😀 When I look at mine, I just see a blur if I don’t have my glasses on. I might need to take off the sapphire crystal glass one day and “feel” the time.
A truly gorgeous watch.
Out of personal experience I know that the onyx dial from GP is superbly crafted.
Agree, they did well with Onyx
And also a bit bold with the 2 tone for the insides vs the 2 hands and seconds hand. I would have liked to see the 38 mm version made without diamonds (or made it an option). That’s my only criticism of the infinity LE. 188 in 42 mm and 88 in 38 mm.
gorgeous piece
So beautiful that you have to remember not to look at it as you cross the street! Saw one in gold the other day. Like the steel better. And yes, the date. Oh well.
Onyx holds so well
Even in 30 years it looks as if it’s new, so even if not now, in the future I’d get one, beautiful piece.
