Girard-Perregaux Laureato 38mm Sage Green & Midnight Blue : Fresh Dials for the Smaller Laureato
The Girard-Perregaux Laureato is a the brand’s integrated bracelet sportswatch whose design dates back to 1975. The smaller 38mm version was previously only available with a copper dial. This has now changed, as the watch is now available with either a sage green or a midnight blue dial.
Case
The case of the Girard-Perregaux Laureato 38mm has a diameter of 38 mm and a slim profile with a height of 10.02 mm. The octagonal bezel and the alternating brushed and polished surfaces are characteristic of the design. The integrated bracelet is also made of stainless steel and features a folding clasp. Together, these elements give the watch a robust yet elegant appearance. With a water resistance of 100 meters, the watch also offers reasonable protection against water.
Dial
The new dial of the Girard-Perregaux Laureato 38mm is in a fresh green or dark blue and features a Clous de Paris pattern. This hobnail style of guilloché with a repeating motif of small pyramid shapes reflects light and creates different shades of green. The rhodium-plated baton indexes are covered with luminescent material, ensuring good readability even in low light conditions. The rhodium-plated Girard-Perregaux logo and the date at 3 o’clock complete the dial.
Movement
Inside the Girard-Perregaux Laureato 38mm is the GP03300-2476 automatic movement. This movement is based on the GP03300 and has been modified to include a date display. It operates at a frequency of 4 Hz and has a power reserve of 46 hours. The pink gold oscillating weight adds a touch of luxury and ensures efficient winding. The exhibition case back offers a view of the finely finished movement.
Strap
The Girard-Perregaux Laureato 38mm comes with an integrated stainless steel bracelet. This bracelet features alternating polished and satin-finished links, giving it a luxurious appearance. The folding clasp ensures a secure fit and ease of use.
