Girard-Perregaux is now releasing a watch that combines the legendary design of Laureato with the world of Métiers d’Art. The bezel of this timepiece features 32 baguettes. Set with cut diamonds (approximately 3 carats), this model showcases the craftsmanship of an expert gem setter. The baguette cut required extreme precision, and the custom-designed bezel also presented challenges. Each stone had to be meticulously placed in grooves of slightly different size and shape to achieve the ideal placement. The thickness of the bezel has been carefully calibrated to enhance the brilliance of the diamonds, adding to its flawless elegance. Laureato’s octagonal bezel features uniquely shaped grooves that widen slightly towards the corners to accommodate the different stone sizes, making intricate settings even more refined. Set in an invisible setting, the baguette-cut diamonds are exquisitely proportioned and have a captivating sparkle as they reflect light. The dial is made of white gold and has a beautiful Clous de Paris decoration, but unlike other Laureato models, it lacks the text between 4 and 8 o’clock. At first glance, it looks monochrome, but if you look closely, you’ll see that it has a sophisticated and delicate contrast. The same white gold upright GP logo and indices further enhance the luxury feel. Image

brilliant-cut diamonds (~0.177 carats) and 46 brilliant-cut sapphires (~0.798 carats), in response to requests for color variations. A diamond is placed at the 6 o’clock position, and the rest is sapphire, with a gradation of blue that becomes darker as it approaches the 12 o’clock position. This gradation is complemented by stones of varying sizes, with the largest stone set at each corner of the eight-sided bezel. In addition to the bezel’s gradation effect, carefully selected brilliant-cut diamonds further enhance the appeal of the brand’s signature Laureato octagonal bezel. The dial is gray with Clous de Paris decoration and is enlivened by blue lettering. The case has a square tonneau-shaped case with a round pedestal and an octagonal bezel on top, making it an attractive case with wonderful light reflections. With its slender proportions and integrated bracelet, Laureato has become synonymous with comfort and continues to offer timeless styling.

Manufactured in the company’s workshop in La Chaux-de-Fonds, this in-house movement is perfectly designed for the Laureato. This includes a rose gold rotor with arc-shaped Côtes de Genève decoration that uses power derived from the movement of the arm, eliminating the need for winding.

With an unparalleled history spanning more than 230 years, Girard-Perregaux is an independent manufacturer that has mastered the art of fine watchmaking. It is the creator of the concept of a Haute Horlogerie Manufacture (1791) and the pioneer of design in watchmaking (its first signature watch was the Three Bridge Tourbillon in 1867). Regarding the movement, We differentiate ourselves from most watch brands by using a holistic design approach for both the dial and case. In the 1970s, many watch brands synonymous with haute horlogerie introduced stainless steel models with integrated steel bracelets, but Girard-Perregaux was the only manufacturer to produce elegant stainless steel watches entirely in-house. Because Laureato used in-house movements, they were free to design their watches without any compromises. Laureato is a model that has evolved over time, with a variety of dial colors, case materials, and complications. This time, we have created two new products with outstanding performance achieved by combining modern and traditional know-how. All new Laureato 38 mm models will be available worldwide from April 15, 2025.
