crown comfort,
Thank you for the report.
G-P has a convention of ladies-only models like Cat's Eye.
White ceramic for ladies watches have been issued by Audemars Piglet, Chanel, and Rado before but you are correct to note that a full ceramic watch with bracelet is tough to master. Many brands can only do the watch case in ceramic as the bracelet is too difficult.
The demand for diamond-setting requires a metal bezel like steel or gold, that are soft and malleable enough for the gems.
Is this the first full ceramic Laureato model? Thus allowing ladies to be the first to get a watch technology novelty even before the men? Then, where does the black ceramic unisex model fall into the chronology?
Regards

SIHH 2018 Novelty: Girard-Perregaux Laureato white ceramics 38mm – Live Shots and Review
I will conclude the initial live shots and reviews of this year’s SIHH novelties with the Girard-Perregaux Ladies Laureato in white ceramics. We, being a male-dominated forum, often neglect the Ladies watches, but for me they are equally important and it ...
Finally a watch designer that listens
That 38mm black ceramic ticks just every box at least for me personally. It has the stealth look and lingeage to a true iconic line for GP. Other watch brands should watch and learn.
Thank you for this review, CC!
Not sure if I would go for a white Ceramic watch, but my wife would for sure! On rubber start I find this new creation very appealing. I can see her on a beach with this one on her wrist...! Another great example that GP do not neglect the ladies... And a...

It is not the first full ceramic but the first in white
We did report previously on the all black ceramic Laureato here, you can use the search function to check back on that. But the innovation is in the white ceramic and the mix with steel bezel. I'm also glad GP chose the 38mm size so it can have the automa...
P.S. Some men can pull off a white ceramic bracelet too
Not many but certainly enough who wear a 38mm diameter watch to justify production. Are the bracelets quick release (tool-free) for home changes? Or do you need a tool? Regards MTF
Well, black for me and white for my wife (without the diamonds) could make a super cool yin and yang duo
Thanks for the review CC. Best wishes Alkiro
So many
Of those genta inspired watches have today become too mainstream, this 38 ceramic still has the stealth / charm and comes from a true manufacturer with laureato being a line with genuine roots to that period.
Thanks CJ for your input
and I tend to agree with you completely. I think however, i would judge the ceramic bracelet not from photos, it will need to be seen in the (ahem) "metal" On photos it can quickly look like plastic, but that is surely not the case.
