Girard Perregaux

Discontinued now.

I like the monotone look and I like that it’s discontinued with not many made as it had a short production run.








Reminds me of the new titanium chronograph dial color.

You’ve captured the dial color and texture perfectly 👏🏻👏🏻 A rare bird indeed. Very nice too because GP did NOT introduce another grey dial time and date 38 mm recently , unlike they did with the blue dial variant recently 🤷🏻‍♂️ Any news or timeline for the Laureato 50th? Cheers my friend! 🍻

I remember recommending the grey dial to you some time ago but your heart was set on the blue dial. Either way, the blue 38 is beautiful as well. Prices are still holding quite well for the blue 38 mm as we haven’t seen they many of the new 38 mm blue on the market yet.

There are some folks that also prefer the variant with the “1791” on the dial.

Q4 this year is when we should see the new laureato Gen 6.

In the meantime, I think the rarer laureatos such as the laureato 8010(36 mm), laureato-olimpico 8017 chronograph LE (40 mm) and the laureato 81000 (41 mm) are getting more scarce. Possibly due to the run up to the 50th anniversary.

But if I’m going to own one Laureato, we both know it has to be the blue! 🙂 Q4 for the new 50th anniversary?? I can’t wait that long!! 😂😂 They really know how to build drama over there at GP 😂😂

and then stick by the decision.

There is no way that you would have known that GP was going to come out with another blue 38 mm. I kinda suspected it but was not sure.

The ramp up has started for the laureato with the reissue of the Deep Diver cushion case. The narrative over at GP is that the Deep Diver is the ancestor to the laureato. 14 sided bezel evolved to 8 sides.

Personally, I don’t agree.

🤝

I didn’t know that. Personally I don’t see the deep diver and Laureato sharing much DNA as far as the dials and case shapes are concerned. But maybe I haven’t looked close enough. Have a great day my friend! 🍻

You have your blue 38 mm as well.

🤝

and have considered buying it at some point.

When did you try it on? I assume before it was discontinued.

Is it a 38 mm or 42 mm ?

🤝

I also tried silver and blue (and even the chrono). Beautiful pieces.

I see, 2021. Before the 38 mm grey and blue dial was discontinued on Jan 2022.

In ceramic, it felt too light and small for me. Strangely, with the rubber strap, it also felt too small for me. Even with a steel case. So, full steel or gold case and bracelet 38 mm for me only.

But I also like the 40 mm laureato-olimpico chronograph 8017 as well as the 41 mm LE anniversary laureato 81000

One of those that looked better in pics than on my wrist. Skin tone didn’t match the dial color for me.
