Gino Macaluso the father of the Laureato automatic

The legendary Gino Macaluso ❤ Maybe there would be no Laureato today if not for him. It was under his leadership of Girard-Perregaux that the first Laureato automatics were created. The Laureato 8010 in 1995. The Laureato-Olimpico Chronograph 8017 in 1996

Laureato 8010 - 36 mm x 7.9 mm

Some pics of my Laureato 8010. This is in steel and rose gold (yep solid gold links, not capped or plated). The champagne dial stands out. So far I only know of one other example. See how thin the 8010 is at 7.9 mm #gp8010 #laureato8010 #GPLaureato

Laureato 8010 Champagne Dial

A couple of impromptu shots while chilling at home. This is the original automatic GP Laureato reference 8010 from 1995. Inside beats calibre GP 3100. (1996 saw Vacheron use the same calibre in the Overseas Gen 1) The champagne dial here is seen rather ra

Thanks. Yes we have already discussed

the date wheel extensively in previous posts. For me, rarity and historical importance are super important for collectibility. Top of the list. In this regard alone, the 8010 is the top for all automatic laureatos. For those that don’t care about rarity a
