Laureato Chronograph – Essence and Presence

Blending Aesthetics and Functionality

A Powerful Identity

Since its introduction in 1975, the Girard-Perregaux Laureato has remained a symbol of sporty elegance and timeless design. The Laureato Blue 42mm Chronograph model epitomizes this legacy, marrying advanced functionality with classic aesthetics.

Design and Materials

• Case: The chronograph is housed in a 42mm 904L stainless steel case, notable for its high chromium content. This material is challenging to machine but offers exceptional durability and a brilliant, polished finish. The case is framed by the iconic polished octagonal bezel that defines the Laureato collection.

• Dial: The vintage-inspired blue dial features the intricate Clous de Paris pattern, which adds a sophisticated texture and enhances the visual appeal of the watch. The dial includes three chronograph sub-dials, baton hour markers, and a date display, all encased within the polished octagonal bezel. The use of blue accents and a well-organized layout ensures both style and readability.

Technical Excellence

• Movement: The watch is powered by the calibre GP03300 self-winding chronograph movement, a testament to Girard-Perregaux’s expertise in precision engineering. This movement drives the chronograph functions, including two counter sub-dials for elapsed time and a small seconds dial. It also includes a date display for added functionality.

• Performance: The calibre GP03300 provides impeccable accuracy, supported by a 46-hour power reserve. The chronograph features water resistance up to 10 bar (100 meters), making it both a reliable tool and a stylish accessory.
