# Girard Perregaux Laureato 38mm Copper Review by A.I. WatchMetrics

## Watch Summary
The Girard-Perregaux Laureato 38mm Copper is an elegant luxury sports watch featuring a compact 38mm stainless steel case with the brand's signature octagonal bezel secured by eight hexagonal screws, a striking sunray copper dial accented by rhodium-plated hands and indices with a small seconds subdial at 6 o'clock, powered by the precise quartz GP013100 movement for superior accuracy and low maintenance, targeting professionals and collectors who prefer a versatile, understated unisex piece blending sporty heritage with refined daily wearability.

## Overall Watch Rating: 7.1/10.0

**Brand Metric (9.4/10.0)** - Girard-Perregaux's prestigious heritage and masterful craftsmanship firmly place it in the high-end luxury tier alongside Audemars Piguet and Vacheron Constantin.
**Dials & Design Metric (9.3/10.0)** - The captivating copper sunray dial paired with the iconic integrated Laureato case rivals the aesthetic excellence of the best modern sports luxury icons.
**Material Metric (9.2/10.0)** - High-grade stainless steel, anti-reflective sapphire crystal, and flawless brushed/polished finishing deliver construction quality on par with Patek Philippe Aquanauts.
**History & Innovation Metric (8.8/10.0)** - Pioneering inventions like the Three Gold Bridges tourbillon underscore GP's profound historical and innovative contributions to haute horlogerie.
**Versatility Metric (8.7/10.0)** - Its 38mm size, 100m water resistance, and steel bracelet make it adaptable from office attire to weekend outings, much like a Cartier Santos.
**Rarity Metric (7.4/10.0)** - The combination of premium pricing and limited brand production volumes offers solid exclusivity without reaching limited-edition scarcity.
**Movement Metric (5.8/10.0)** - While the GP013100 quartz ensures top-tier accuracy, it falls short of the mechanical sophistication in GP's own automatic calibers.
**Functions Metric (3.5/10.0)** - Standard hours, minutes, and small seconds provide dependable basics but lack the multifaceted utility of GMT or date-equipped peers.
**Complications Metric (1.5/10.0)** - With virtually no added complexities, it trails far behind the tourbillon or chronograph-laden offerings in its luxury class.

## Total Performance Score (TPS): 4.0

## WM Collector Grade: C

## Performance Insights: Strong brand prestige, materials, and dial design elevate it, but the quartz movement, sparse functions, and minimal complications drag it down, trading at $9,400 versus a $3,600 implied fair price.

## TPS Interpretation: Poor Value: Premium styling and build quality are undermined by basic quartz functionality that doesn't match luxury expectations.
