Laureato 225th anniversary model
From the archives …. This is the 41 mm Laureato that is 10.1 mm thick. Ref 81000
The laureato had not been in the GP catalog for a few years and it returned in 2016 with this Limited Edition. It would start the generation 5.
Prior to Gen 5, the Laureato Evo3 was Gen 4.
We see a very different reimagining of the Laureato from the Evo3. 225 pieces made in 2016.
Design by Stefano Macaluso

I feel that this is one of the best pure white dial pieces out there.
Others, in my opinion, include the AP 15300 and Rolex OP 39mm. Notably, all these are discontinued (but obtainable).
What a beautiful and classy looking watch the Girard Perregaux Laureato 225th anniversary model is.
Everything on this watch is just so clean and sharp and unfussy I mean what's not to like about it. It was a good move by GP to release this and indeed the new Laureato lines since then although I must admit I really hadn't realised there were quite so ma...
Yes, at first glance they seem quite similar
But upon closer inspection, there are many differences between this 41 mm vs the 42 mm. Dial, case, calibre, bracelet are all different from the current production 42 mm. 🤝
