With a modest height of just 10.68 mm, this model readily slips beneath a shirt cuff. The matching steel bracelet is optimally shaped to provide a comfortable means of uniting the watch with its wearer. Born in 1975, the style of the Laureato continues to endure. At the time of its launch in 1975, the inaugural watch was called the ‘Quartz Chronometer’. However, in Italy, the most important market for Girard-Perregaux at the time, the model soon became known among the cognoscenti as the ‘the graduate (Laureato in Italian)’. This affectionate name served as acknowledgement of the model’s prize-winning success and extraordinary precision. Coincidentally, the octagonal bezel sits atop the case, like a laurel crown sits upon the head of a laureate. Primarily aesthetic, the bezel is a luxurious detail that contributes to the model’s distinctive look. The case, along with its integrated bracelet, confers impressive levels of wearer comfort. When viewed across a room, the Laureato is instantly recognisable yet suitable for all occasions. The Calibre GP01800 As a company synonymous with Haute Horlogerie, it should come as no surprise to learn that the self-winding movement, the Calibre GP01800, is enriched with a plethora of refined details. The main plate is adorned with circular graining, while some components feature bevelling, mirror-polishing, satin finish, snailing, sunray finish and various engravings. The bridges are decorated with straight Côtes de Genève and the rhodium-plated oscillating weight is embellished with circular Côtes de Genève. Lastly, the movement has a power reserve of at least 54 hours.
