Thanks. Yes we have already discussed
the date wheel extensively in previous posts.
For me, rarity and historical importance are super important for collectibility. Top of the list.
In this regard alone, the 8010 is the top for all automatic laureatos.
For those that don’t care about rarity and provenance etc, then choose the one they find prettiest, date wheel and such to be whatever color and enjoy.
The center links of the 8010 are solid gold.
The new laureato fifty ref 81008 are gold covered/capped. Not solid gold. This is a big problem for me. Either steel or gold. Not gold covered.
I’ll try to post more but since I’m on vacation and such now, IG has been the easiest to upload the videos to.
Take care and best wishes from Osaka, Japan 🇯🇵

Laureato 8010
Good morning from the land of the rising sun ☀️ Japan🇯🇵 Osaka. I'm on holiday for the next 2 weeks. I shall pop by the Girard-Perregaux boutique later and hopefully see the new Laureato FIFTY 81008. I was at another GP store yesterday which is in good com...
This is nice...not a fan of the white date background...
...curious to see what you think of the 50...
I love the date wheel being white
I don't wear a blue suit with a blue shirt. Tacky. 😀 Nautilus, 222, Royal Oak, all had white date wheels for a reason. ...
Ha ha, of course they are not clothes
But they are certainly things ones wears. To each their own. : )
Great neo vintage piece!
Looking forward to reading your impressions on the FIFTY. Matching date disc and no 12 are elements I personally like, but the writing, the hands, the absence of separate minutes track and the historical value are far better on your watch, imo. Best, Emma...

I am shocked too. I said in the previous post that I think there are too much gold color on the bracelet
Now that they are gold capped, it is worse. 28K for gold capped center link is absurd price. Additionally, if you read SJX's review of this watch, the bezel is wider than the current regular 38 mm model, has softer transition between concave sides. Makes ...
That really is a stunning looking Girard Perregaux Laureato 8010 two tone.
I love the hue of the rose gold hands and hour markers against the blue dial it just looks so good as does the watch on your wrist. I hope you have a great holiday and safe travels. Marc
Cool. I’m not “sold” on all aspects
But the details will have to wait for now. Main problem is that the center links are not solid gold. They are gold covered/capped. Stay tuned. 🤝
I completely understand and appreciate this.
Good luck in your decision, and still an amazing watch nonetheless!
Thank you bro. We gonna try to meet in Tokyo
I can’t seem to find your number. I’ll DM you Best, Marc
