NWA . . . The Early Bird Gets the Laureato Fifty . . .
Despite being a long-time admirer of the Girard-Perregsux Laureato, I could never quite find “the one” for me over the last several years. I’ve come close to pulling the trigger on the onyx dial iteration a few times, but ultimately decided to hold off: I...
Congratulations!
That is excellent both front and back🔥👌. I completely agree that the decrease in branding on the dial makes it look that much nicer.
Thank you so much!🙏
It was an absolute pleasure to meet you in person at the NYC GTG! Hope we can meet up again in the near future. Have a great week!🥂
It was great to meet you as well😊
I really enjoyed getting together with people from WPS that share the love for watches.
Definitely a keeper, Matt!
I couldn’t be more pleased with the overall execution! Have a great week!🥂
Congratulations!
It's a stunner! Not only looks but also hits all the must as far as I'm concerned such as micro adjust, reasonable water resistance (15atm?), great lume and if I'm not mistaken even a screw down crown. Really hard to ask for more!
Cheers, my friend!🙏
You are correct in that it has a screw down crown and water resistance at 150 meters (15 ATM). Have a great week!🥂
Beautiful catch, Mach!
I’m a big fan of the Laureato, and this one ticks all the boxes as you have very well found out. Love the detail in the clasp! Very cool! Enjoy and thank you for sharing, Alex
Thank you, Alex!🙏
Yes, this was “the one” that finally ticked all the boxes for me! Have a great week!🥂
Huge congratulations and thank you
for this detailed review! I wish you a lot of happiness with this beautiful Laureato. Best, Emmanuel
Cheers, Emmanuel!🙏
My pleasure with providing the detailed review. Thank you for helping me ‘relocate this post’ to its proper forum! Have a great week!🥂
Congratulations, Mach!
Thanks for taking time to share these details. I think you have the best version to date. Enjoy the beauty.
Thank you, my friend!🙏
It was my pleasure to share these details. I’m biased of course, but I agree I have the best version to date. It pays to be patient! Have a great week!🥂
Very helpful review of a stunning release 👏🏽. I see there’s a nice blue version too, but I prefer your choice.
Did you decide against the onyx version because of its size? Also, I imagine you’ve seen the 1945 references that are available, including a beautiful onyx version and openworks. What do you think of those?
Yes, the blue enamel dial iteration is also stunning, my friend!
Actually. I prefer the way the “Girard-Perregaux’ appears to float on that dial. I just wished it also had the minute track as well. As far as the previous generation, I just thought 42mm was a bit on the large size. But for whatever reason I can’t really...
Thank you for the additional detail and great pictures.
The configuration of that 1945 is great…and it looked to hug your wrist perfectly. But I see what you mean by it being a little on the larger size.
Cheers, S F!🙏 I couldn’t be happier with this seamless acquisition experience!
Very impressed! Have a great week!🥂
Thank you so much, my friend!🙏
Hopefully, my review helps you somewhat. Although I actually prefer the way “Girard-Perregaux” appears to float on the blue enamel dial, I wished it had a minute track. Good luck with your decision! I couldn’t be happier with my overall acquisition experi...
Thank you so much, Larry!🙏
Another reminder that sometimes patience does pay off because this one finally checked all my boxes! Have a great week!🥂
Merci beaucoup, mon ami!🙏
I know, I know - you just love that damn date!😂🤣😂 Since the original Laureato had a date, it doesn’t bother me. Now, it would if the date wheel was white, which, fortunately, didn’t happen! Have a great week!🥂
Unfortunately, my pictures really don’t do this stunner any justice!
The beauty of the dial is quite difficult to capture. I was anxious to order just based on photos. But couldn’t be more pleased with the result! Thank you, my friend!🙏 Gave a great week!🥂
You scored, Mark - CONGRATS!! Got a sneak peek at these in early May and you picked...
... the one that got overwhelmingly positive reactions. The smaller size fit my wrist a bit better than the larger one, but both sizes were so, so, so nice! The blue enamel dial -- not so much. It didn't look like enamel to me. In fact, I had to ask the G...
Thank you so much, Craig!🙏
Great to hear from you! Hope all is well. I’m wondering if you would have had a different reaction if the blue enamel dial was smooth rather than in their signature Clous de Paris motif.🤔 Regardless, I was turned off by the lack of a minute track. But, on...
