Girard-Perregaux Laureato Chronograph 81020-11-631-11A 42mm
Girard-Perregaux Laureato Chronograph 81020-11-631-11A 42mm
Released at SIHH 2017, its fair to say the new Laureato was met with mixed responses, its detractors claiming an all-too close resemblance to another famous steel, octagonal sport watch with a patterned dial. But to dismiss it as an impostor would be doing yourself and it a disservice, especially as the Laureato has been around since 1975, pre-dating the Nautilus from Patek Philippe. But there is no need to defend the Laureato, as it does a pretty good job of doing that itself for those who take the time to delve into the details.
Starting with the case, which is perfectly proportioned, hitting that sweet spot of 42mm and 12mm thick. It combines with a superbly constructed and articulated integrated bracelet to be ultra-comfortable on the wrist.
The dial is spectacular in pictures, but even better in person, with the Clous de Paris pattern picking up and reflecting the light, and combines with the circular pattern on the sub-dials to create a dial of great depth. Its powered by an in-house automatic movement, and featured 100m of water resistance. It really is a go-anywhere, do anything-watch and represents amazing value for money for the watchmaking involved.
