The Girard-Perregaux Laureato adds two new chapters in a story that began in , this time housed in a sumptuous 42mm Pink Gold case and upholding Laureato tradition of contrasting shapes and finishes. On this occasion, the eponymous noble metal is paired with bewitching Sage Green and Ultramarine Blue dials that appear to change shade when viewed from different angles.
In , Girard-Perregaux released the inaugural Laureato, a timepiece designed in-house comprising several different shapes brought together to form a cohesive aesthetic. Close examination reveals an octagonal bezel positioned atop a circular plinth which in turn is located upon an angular tonneau-shaped case. Throughout the composition there is an exquisite interplay between polished and satin finished surfaces as can be seen on these new Laureato in Pink Gold.
Both finishes are clearly defined and discrete from one another, thereby optimising the effect. This arrangement of different shapes and contrasting finishes has come to define the Laureato, a watch that is instantly recognisable when viewed from afar. Golden baton-style hour and minute hands collaborate with baton-type indexes, imparting meaning free of ambiguity. Both the hands and indexes are lined with luminescent material and emit a notable glow in dim light. The central seconds hand features a GP-themed counterweight and almost kisses the minute track positioned on the flange, facilitating ease of read-off.
Indeed, having amassed much experience over the last years, the manufacture has become known for its sagacity, making the choice of dial colour on the new Laureato Pink Gold Sage Green very apt.
As its name suggests, the dial of the new Laureato Pink Gold Ultramarine Blue is executed in the sought after shade.
