Watch Description
A NEW CHAPTER FOR AN ICONIC MODEL
First launched in 1975, the Laureato is a true gem amongst the brand’s iconic models, embracing sporty lines and classic elegance.
Showcasing the collection at its sportiest and most contemporary, the latest models are truly uncompromising, offering a fascinating material spectrum – from bold, architectural steel and super-light titanium to classic pink gold and the radiant sparkle of brilliant cut diamonds.
A commanding feature of the first Laureato, the iconic octagonal bezel remains a core part of this exemplary collection.
A STRONG, VINTAGE DESIGN
Presented in a 42mm stainless steel case, this handsome model offers sleek lines and easily wearability. The integrated steel bracelet is perfectly fitted to the case for flawless comfort and an elevated sense of style.
Offering a classic appeal, the vintage-inspired sophisticated blue dial features the finely engraved hobnail lines of Clous de Paris, alongside baton hour markers and a date display, all framed by a polished octagonal bezel.
Power and precision are provided by the calibre GP01800 movement, crafted in-house with 191 components. Visible through the sapphire crystal case back, the oscillating weight is delicately decorated with Côtes de Genève.

# Girard Perregaux Laureato 42mm Review by A.I. WatchMetrics
## Watch Summary
The Girard-Perregaux Laureato 42mm is a luxury integrated sports watch reviving the 1975 design classic with its signature octagonal bezel, polished and brushed stainless steel case and bracelet, captivating sunray blue dial with applied indices and date at 3 o'clock, and robust 100m water resistance, powered by the in-house automatic GP01800 movement offering a 54-hour power reserve; it appeals to sophisticated collectors desiring an elegant alternative to icons like the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak or Patek Philippe Nautilus.
## Overall Watch Rating: 8.3/10.0
**Brand Metric (9.5/10.0)** - Girard-Perregaux's centuries-old Swiss prestige and high-end luxury status rivals A. Lange & Söhne in heritage and exclusivity.
**Material Metric (9.4/10.0)** - Premium stainless steel with sapphire crystal and meticulous brushed/polished finishing matches the build quality of top Omega models.
**Dials & Design Metric (9.4/10.0)** - The iconic angular case, sunray dial, and integrated bracelet deliver timeless elegance akin to the original 1970s Laureato benchmark.
**Versatility Metric (9.2/10.0)** - Seamlessly transitions from boardroom to weekend adventures, outperforming many dress watches in everyday wearability.
**History & Innovation Metric (9.0/10.0)** - Deep roots since 1791 with in-house caliber innovation place it alongside established icons like Vacheron Constantin.
**Cohesiveness Metric (9.0/10.0)** - Exemplifies brand DNA through consistent luxury sports execution, cohesive with GP's Laureato lineage.
**Movement Metric (8.5/10.0)** - The reliable in-house GP01800 automatic with solid finishing and chronometer-grade performance competes well with ETA 2824 upgrades in premium watches.
**Rarity Metric (8.0/10.0)** - At its price point and limited luxury production, it offers solid exclusivity similar to mid-tier Rolex sports models on the secondary market.
**Functions Metric (6.5/10.0)** - Basic timekeeping with date provides dependable utility but lags behind multifunction rivals like the Grand Seiko Spring Drive.
**Complications Metric (4.0/10.0)** - Simple date window delivers modest functionality compared to chronograph-equipped peers in the luxury sports category.
## Total Performance Score (TPS): 4.0
## WM Collector Grade: C
## Performance Insights: Excels in brand prestige, materials, design, and versatility while underdelivering in complications and functions; solid value versus $8,500 implied price.
## TPS Interpretation: Average Value: The watch meets baseline expectations for its price with standout aesthetics but limited features.
