Girard Perregaux

One more - "pedigree"...

Fondling with a picture of the ref. 80100 Laureato brought up the idea, to add some current models for some overview.

The 1994 Laureato in the lower right, the first Laureato with a manufacture-made automatic movement.
The 2006 Laureato Evo3, TI/RG variant, goes back to the Evo3 introduced in 2003.
The 2006 Laureato "Large Date", lovingly dubbed the "Evo Moon", is completely new.
The 2006 "Sapphire Crystal" Tourbillon is a new model, while there was a small number of earlier Three Gold Bridges tourbillons in an enlarged Laureato case of 38mm.

The Laureato line has come a long way!
To me it?s no surprise, because i regard this to be a very versatile case that goes very nicely with any complication that is! And it?s not a Genta design, but truly GP.
Not an easy task to accomplish and one might say, proof how different GP really is!

Cheers,

Peter
