Tastes are different, so i respect yours. I have no doubt about the quality of finishing of this new models.
The movement is excellent and with modern features (finally) like anti magnetic etc.
The execution of bracelet and case is beautiful. I just feel the dial on the blue dial 39mm is too sterile and lack of character.
Regarding the price...market will decide if the price is appropriate or not, by looking at secondary price. Myself, i would not hesitate to get the 36mm model in blue dial, when the pre-owned price settle to around 10K to 12K.
Or just get the discontinued 38mm models which available now for about 8K.
Laureato FIFTY new releases today
All house the new cal 4800 The 38 mm Laureato has been discontinued. Maybe the same will happen to the 42 mm as well. IMHO, the 36 mm and 39 mm will be the two new sizes. The 41 mm will be reserved for Uber rare pieces... 50 or less LEs. The return of the...
Cool. It's a crowded market
Honestly. I think everyone is starting to look like everyone else. 😅
The crazy price aside, i like this watch...but only on 36mm models, where they still put minute markers .
Don't understand why the omit minute markers on the 39mm models. Trying too hard to be minimalistic is not always good. Coupled with the absent of text on the six o clock position, the dial looks empty, generic and boring. An integrated bracelet watch nee...
A million times better looking than a land dweller IMHO
🤣 Just sayin... And price is in the same brackets as the OS, RO and Nautilus. So I don't see why not. What I await to see is secondary market prices. If GP has learned it's lesson yet or not. That is the only truth on prices for me... Value retention.

"when the pre-owned price settle to around 10K to 12K"
It's almost like you wish the brand failure? 🤷🏻♂️ Strange left handed comments. You could be right about secondary market prices, but I for one hope for great demand and GP management controlling their errant ADs that bundle. I wish nothing but the best ...
Of course i want GP to survive. They are one of the few true manufacturers with rich history and very diverse models.
I feel very unfortunate that they don't have AD here so i can try their models. As you have pointed out some times ago, pre-owned GPs are the best route for us who are not billionaire to acquire their fantastic time pieces. I don't know, maybe because of ...
🥰🤝
Pre owned is the way to go for sure but I don't celebrate or look forward to some of the secondary market prices. It's totally crap for the brand image and GP deserves better. It is systemic of poor distribution control for new watches. For example, if yo...
Not for you then
Good reason to save money 😃 For the 42 mm enamel dials. No minutes markers and no repair make the dial look bigger. It's a mond-eye thing. For the 39 mm, it's ok. IMHO. The 39 mm rose gold dial has all the markers you want. It also has a date.
Sorry, it was meant as a reply to hoseachandra (above)...
about the omission of minute markers on the 39mm models.
Yes. But i will wait for 36mm blue dial non-enamel and with minute markers. Date window i don't mind.
Overall these are good sign of GP. Apparently they listen to what enthusiast want (price is relative, of course). What they need is to improve the sales and marketing. Please no bundle BS.
Me too and a little secret
I love the best vintage Laureato 8010 even more at 36 x 7.9 mm 2 mm or so thinner. But I do like the new 36 mm as well. I'll just habr to get them all 🤣
Awesome. There might be an option to purchase directly from GP
DM me if you like and I'll see what I can do to help. To be clear, Nothing in it for me. I just offer to help. 🤝
I think they call it the rose gold dial
The GP website has the best pics but here is one www.girard-perregaux.com ...
Here you go
They have a nice 360 degree feature on the GP website www.girard-perregaux.com cm ...
You can see the movement is a little . . .
. . . undersized but definitely not a deal breaker. A solid offering from GP. Thanks for the pics Marc.
Yes I agree about the size of the movement
I would have also have liked it to be thinner. But all in, it's good. 🤝
I think this is fantastic.
The 39mm looks amazing. I love that the initials are removed on both dial and clasp. This looks so much cleaner. I hope to see in person. I am not in the market for a new watch but if I were this would be at the top of the list.
I’ve been seeing all the Laureato teasers on their Instagram. So, I was expecting something new!
Sure enough, last night, before I went to bed, I saw a countdown. Thankfully, I had already decided to wake up early (02:30 CDT) for a run! The alarm went off; I checked their Instagram - nothing!😔 Then, I checked Fratello and Monochrome - nothing!😔 Final...
But still lower price than most Royal Oaks, OS and Naughties ☺
I suspect they had no date for the enamel dial because I think the date windows in the enamel dials can be not to some folks taste. The base dial plate can be seen from the side. I have brought this up to GP in the past. But. On the onyx dial, it's really...
All relative IMHO
If one can afford it, then buy it. If can't then save up or look from afar. Many watches I can't afford that others can. 😅
The 39mm blue enamel version is looking great!
And glad to see finally a fine-adjust for the bracelet !! Best, Gerard
I find both quiet beautiful
And different. Onyx will always have a special place for me. Natural stone dial. And executed very well IMHO
