My Laureato-Olimpico 8017 gets a bath 🛁 🧼
So I was up early (5 am) today for no reason. 7 am after the cats were fed, the wife and I headed out for breakfast.
I wore my 40 mm GP Laureato-Olimpico chronograph LE ref 8017 tobacco grey dial with the copper subdials.
Took a few pics in the car to share with you guys. (The car really is the best place to take watch pics).
When I got home, I gave him a quick clean with a drop of soap, soft brush and some water.
Looked good after.
So yeah, pretty much a story about nothing, but thanks for reading. 😄
Hope you enjoy the “before and after” pics.
This is how a 40 mm laureato would look on the wrist.

I have never had the pleasure of owning one🤬
It is among the fairly long list of brands I haven’t experienced. But from reading your posts I think a pre owned Laureato would be a good future choice. The 36mm thin model you showed previously is really nice🔥
Ah yes, the laureato 8010
If you have just one GP Laureato, this will be an excellent one to have. There are only 5 listed on c24. Good luck and you can ask me here or via DM if you need some advice. They are fully supported by GP. 🤝
That really is a stunning looking Girard Perregaux Laureato-Olimpico Chronograph LE ref 8017.
The combination of the tobacco dial and the copper subdials is really beautiful and the hands work so well with it also. I have to ask though just how many cats do you have? that it takes 2 hours to feed all of them. Marc
Thanks Marc ☺️🙏🏻 As for cats …
… we have two. Father (ginger) and daughter. They bring us such joy. They take their time in the morning with food. Eat a bit, get a tummy rub, go out to the garden and look at the birds, drink water, return for more food. 😅 Do you have any cats or other ...
Beautiful looking cats, and no cats for me. I was always a dog person with the Dobermann being my breed of choice.
I haven't had any for a long time now and miss not being able to have any due to my back issues. Mine were always fully trained by me and professional trainers in protection work. Something that is greatly misunderstood in general as it is defensive as op...
Agree. I love dogs as well
I used to have two Rottweilers. Females. Lovely and kind. Great with kids and even cats. This is a pic taken about 20 years ago. How time flies. Dobermanns are lovely as well. Intelligent and loyal. I wish you a pleasure evening ahead Marc. 🤝 ...
