To stand the test of time, Girard-Perregaux reimagines their iconic design with the Laureato Absolute collection
One can easily recognise a Laureato at first glance. First introduced in the ‘70s, the timepiece’s signature octagon bezel and its seamless connection to its bracelet made it one of the must-have luxury sport watches of its time. The Laureato continued to take space in collection boxes of watch connoisseurs as it saw numerous iterations through the years, before taking a long hiatus. The iconic design has recently returned to the spotlight, better than ever, and comes out even stronger with the Laureato Absolute collection.
The collection consists of three timepieces, that each sport a black and blue colourway with white accents for a sleek yet modern look that ties in with Girard-Perragaux’s “Earth to Sky” theme for the year. They now have a broader 44mm diameter face, a black PVD-treated titanium case, as well as a fully-integrated rubber strap. Each watch in the collection also has a power reserve of 46 hours and is water-resistant for up to 300 metres, allowing it to withstand the demands of an active lifestyle.
