Gino Macaluso the father of the Laureato automatic

The legendary Gino Macaluso ❤ Maybe there would be no Laureato today if not for him. It was under his leadership of Girard-Perregaux that the first Laureato automatics were created. The Laureato 8010 in 1995. The Laureato-Olimpico Chronograph 8017 in 1996

None of these watches are necessary. That’s why I love them. 😆

First of all, many thanks to KMII for hosting this month’s WS. 🙏 What an interesting topic. Complications are one of those subjects where every collector seems to have a different answer. Some are fascinated by chronographs, others by perpetual calendars,

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

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
