Laureato Chronograph 42 mm highlights
An unexpected two-tone chronograph. A harmonious choice of materials subtly revealing its perfection upon closer inspection. The Manufacture GP03300 chronograph calibre combines precision-timekeeping excellence with exceptional watchmaking finishes. An initial 50-piece production run.
A tribute to the decade in which it was born, this new interpretation of the Laureato subtly revisits the theme of the two-tone watch that was all the rage in the 1970s. The tonneau-shaped case crafted from 904L steel contrasts with the warm hues of rose gold accenting the octagonal bezel, the crown and the pushers positioned on the case middle. The link bracelet is replaced by a rubber strap adorned with a Clou de Paris hobnail pattern, hugging the curves of the wrist with a supple, perfectly ergonomic feel.
An object in which design meets Haute Horlogerie, the Laureato Chronograph 42 mm is aimed at devotees of understated luxury.
The sporty, contemporary Laureato is above all a Girard-Perregaux. The warm hues of the brown dial bearing a Clou de Paris motif complement the rose gold, reflecting the uncompromising attention paid to both the finest details, as well as to respect for the Manufacture’s watchmaking traditions and expertise.

Manufacture chronograph movement
While the Laureato stands out at first glance for its bold aesthetic, it is also distinguished by the exceptional Calibre GP03300. This reliable, high-performance movement features exquisite horological finishes (circular graining, Côtes de Genève, bevelling, mirror polishing, satin brushing, engraving, sunburst finishing, snailing), visible through the sapphire crystal caseback, testifying to the high level of expertise and savoir-faire developed by Girard-Perregaux since 1791.
