LAUREATO FIFTY:
50 YEARS OF REINVENTED HERITAGE

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Fifty years ago, Girard-Perregaux unveiled the Laureato, a watch that would mark one of the major chapters in the history of contemporary watchmaking. Entirely designed, developed and produced in-house, it entered the world of elegant sports watches with integrated bracelets and a chronometer-certified manufacture quartz movement.

In this anniversary year, the brand is celebrating its half-century with a limited edition of 200: the Laureato FIFTY. With features that make it the quintessential Laureato, it pays vibrant tribute to the past while projecting Girard-Perregaux into the future.

A VISIONARY MANUFACTURING SPIRIT AND IDENTITY

Since 1791,  Girard-Perregaux  has forged its identity around a dual commitment: to create watches with a distinctive design and the movements that power them.

In a watchmaking landscape built on the tradition of établissage and its network of subcontractors, the brand distinguished itself early on by a very high level of integration and the adoption of the manufacture model from the start of the industrial revolution in the late 18th century.

It was one of the first watchmaking companies to decide to bring all stages of production in-house. In La Chaux-de-Fonds, in the heart of the Neuchâtel mountains, the company crafts not only creations bearing its name, but also the movements it supplies to prestigious customers, with the extreme care typical of Haute Horlogerie.

The history of the Laureato continues this tradition of excellence. In 1966, Girard-Perregaux opened a Research and Development department to explore the potential of quartz. Five years later, what would soon become its Design Office unveiled the calibre GP350: it has a frequency of 32,768 Hz, which has since become the universal standard in the watchmaking industry.

Girard-Perregaux was far ahead of the quartz revolution. In 1977, two years after the launch of the Laureato, 83% of the quartz-related patents registered with COSC came from the company. The first Laureato was born of this expertise.

LAUREATO:
MANIFESTO OF A NEW ELEGANCE

The Laureato immediately stood out for its unique visual identity: an octagonal bezel set on a circular base, a tonneau-shaped case, an integrated bracelet...

 Designed by GP’s in-house designers, its fluid, architectural silhouette   transgresses the codes of traditional watchmaking without breaking them.

In contrast to its contemporaries, such as Gérald Genta’s Royal Oak (1972), which is all angles and screws, or the Nautilus (1976), with its roundness inspired by a porthole but also by the traditional “cushion” shape, it favours precision, balance and elegance.

From 1975, it embodied a new, more refined and subtle luxury. It was not a response to trends – it was a trendsetter.

“This new creation embodies both fidelity to the historic design and the integration of the most advanced technologies”

This philosophy is now reflected in the Laureato FIFTY. Directly inspired by the original model, this new creation embodies both fidelity to the historic design and the integration of the most advanced technologies. 

LAUREATO FIFTY:
REFINED DESIGN, ENHANCED TECHNOLOGY

Housed in a new case measuring 39 mm in diameter and 9.8 mm thick, the Laureato FIFTY, true to its origins, draws on the nobility of the material: the combination of steel and 3N yellow gold. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

This combination is reminiscent of the first bicolour model from 1975, but with a contemporary edge. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

The tonneau case has been reworked:  sharper angles, more pronounced bevels, even smoother integration of the bracelet. The iconic octagonal bezel alternates between satin and polished finishes, creating a subtle and sophisticated play of light.

The sapphire crystals, flat on both the dial and case-back sides, contribute to the visual finesse of the whole. An unusual detail on a piece of this type: it is water-resistant to 150 metres.

“A level of finishing and detail that testifies to absolute respect for the codes of Haute Horlogerie”

The deep sunray grey dial features a Clous de Paris pattern enhanced by indexes and hands which match the 3N gold of the watch.

The central seconds hand is balanced by a counterweight in the shape of a double arrow, the GP emblem, and an aperture at 3 o’clock displays the date on a disc whose colour matches that of the dial – a level of finishing and detail that testifies to absolute respect for the codes of Haute Horlogerie.

INTEGRATED BRACELET:BETWEEN AESTHETICS AND ERGONOMICS

The steel and yellow gold bracelet is in keeping Twith the original design. Its complexity is expressed in a tapered design whose steel ‘H’links become progressively thinner towards the clasp. 

Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

These links, which are slightly shorter on this new model, allow the bracelet to fit more closely to the curve of the wrist. The y also feature a half-link adjustment for optimal comfort. The central links, in yellow gold, are slightly more domed than those in steel, playing on volumes and light.

The triple folding clasp features the GP logo, also engraved on the inner blades. The octagonal push-pieces on the clasp echo the bezel and reinforce the coherence of the design.

The clasp also incorporates an innovative fine adjustment system that enables the bracelet to be precisely adjusted by 4 mm, which is particularly useful in hot weather –a functional, refined and discreet detail.

THE ART OF THE MOVEMENT:
THE NEW CALIBRE GP4800

The birth of a new calibre is always an event, finishes reveal its full beauty. But beyond its even for such a prolific manufacturer as aesthetic and technical characteristics, the Girard-Perregaux.

Through its see-through GP4800 is also a historic milestone, since case-back, the Laureato  FIFTY reveals it is the first  “simple”  movement  –  hours/ the GP4800.

The fruit of several years’  minutes/seconds/date – whose construction is development, this new automatic movement inspired by what is now the Girard-Perregaux combines finesse, performance and reliability emblem: the Three Bridges.

A contemporary thanks to its silicon escapement and variable expression of GP savoir-faire, nurtured by inertia balance.

Where Haute Horlogerie meets
high-performance engineering 

 The Laureato Skeleton Aston Martin Edition celebrates the dialogue between power and precision. Sculpted from black ceramic, its case reveals a dramatic openworked movement, where each bridge, edge, and hand-finished surface reflects a mastery of craft. This mechanical choreography — both exacting and elegant — mirrors the sculptural lines and technical sophistication of Aston Martin’s finest creations.

“Aston Martin and Girard-Perregaux are instantly recognizable in their respective universes. What makes both brands so unique is their pure elegance, sportiness, and design codes that remain consistent over time”, said Mr. Marc Michel-Amadry, Managing Director at Girard-Perregaux. 

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

Mr. Marek Reichman, Executive Vice President and Chief Creative Officer at Aston Martin, added: “The challenge is always to maintain the excellence that we have always had in terms of proportion, performance and that recognisable, very distinctive image and language”.

RECOGNIZABLE ABOVE ALL

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

These words are not just personal statements — they embody Girard-Perregaux and Aston Martin’s design philosophy. The brand’s supercars are indeed instantly recognizable thanks to their design, which undeniably reflects a keen sense of lines and proportions— an acute ability to perceive and harmonize shapes, contours, and spatial balance, ensuring that every element contributes to a visually striking and perfectly proportioned silhouette. 

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Hours and minutes are indicated by skeletonised hands and suspended indexes, all finished in a captivating green coating reminiscent of Aston Martin’s iconic Racing Green, that bestows a green emission in dim light conditions. This timepiece also features a small skeletonised seconds hand, discreetly positioned at 10 o’clock. Everything is therefore carefully considered to ensure peerless readability while simultaneously maximising the transparency of the movement.

UNCOMPROMISING VIEW ON EXPERTISE

Unlike traditional timepieces with closed dials, this skeletonised model offers unrestricted views of its inner workings, revealing the openworked GP01800 calibre in all its complexity. 

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Through its sapphire crystal and caseback, the wearer can admire components usually hidden from sight: the mainspring in various states of tension, the oscillating balance wheel, the beating hairspring, and the pallet lever engaging with the escape wheel all animate the watch with a captivating mechanical rhythm, while the caseback is adorned with a metallised Aston Martin logo. Every design element has been thoughtfully considered to deliver a compelling and dynamic visual performance.

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

The in-house GP01800 calibre builds on over 230 years of watchmaking expertise. Indeed, it showcases 55 hand-crafted internal angles — a mark of true watchmaking artistry — and features a black PVD-treated mainplate and bridges, adorned with four refined finishing techniques: bevelling, sandblasting, traits-tirés, and circular satin, all executed by hand. The skeletonised solid gold rotor, executed in the same Aston Martin Racing Green–inspired shade, echoes the tone of the hands, allowing light to flood the openworked calibre, highlighting its architectural depth.

Equipped with a variable inertia balance — a superior regulation system — the movement ensures enhanced shock resistance, long-term reliability, and improved chronometric precision. With a 54-hour power reserve, the watch continues to perform even off the wrist. More than a watch, it is a refined fusion of high horology and high performance — a testament to precision, aesthetics, and innovation.

The Laureato Skeleton Aston Martin Edition, limited to 88 pieces, is now available worldwide at all Girard-Perregaux retailers.

GIRARD-PERREGAUX – LAUREATO 42мм Grey Grand Feu enamel Dial

 The Laureato 42 mm GIRARD-PERREGAUX Infinite Grey

Since its debut in 1975, the Laureato has become an icon of fine watchmaking, celebrated for its instantly recognizable design, in-house movement, and refined finishing. 

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

To pay tribute to this timeless symbol of horological excellence, Girard-Perregaux proudly unveils the new Laureato 42 mm, featuring an ancestral savoir-faire, a breathtaking grey Grand Feu enamel dial.

A dial that defines the time

At the heart of this new timepiece lies a dial of exceptional depth and brilliance. Bearing a refined bluish hue, it owes its beauty to the demanding Grand Feu enamel technique. 

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Crafted in-house in the Sowind Group, to which Girard-Perregaux belongs, this artisanal process underscores Girard-Perregaux’s commitment to craftsmanship of the highest order.

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

The enamel is composed of a precise mixture of silica, minium, potash, and soda, finely ground into powder and combined with metal oxides to achieve its nuanced hue. 

   Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Layered carefully onto the dial, it is then fired at around 800°C in a kiln—repeated five to ten times—to achieve its flawless, radiant surface. 

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Due to the unpredictability of this process, some of the dials are rejected as they feature slight imperfections. But those that survive emerge as enduring masterpieces—impervious to time, fading, or aging. 

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Adding to the allure of its subtly bluish grey colour, a sunray flinqué motif lies beneath the translucent enamel layer, revealing both the dial’s brilliance and its sense of depth. 

   Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

The choice naturally fell on enamel for this Laureato: a texture that gives the dial depth and subtle variations in colour.

 It is also a captivating material, selected to eternally adorn this new timepiece, unchanging as time passes.

An in-house design that honors its heritage

While the dial captures attention, the rest of the timepiece remains true to the unmistakable Laureato design language.

The distinctive octagonal bezel, set atop a circular plinth and tonneau-shaped case, creates a harmonious play of shapes and light. Alternating polished and satin-brushed surfaces enrich the steel case’s visual complexity. Thanks to its slim profile and integrated bracelet, the Laureato is known for its exceptional comfort and timeless style.

Rhodium-plated baton hands mark the hours and minutes, while the slender central seconds hand features a counterweight inspired by the iconic Girard-Perregaux Gold Bridge — a discreet tribute to the Maison’s horological DNA.

The date aperture at 3 o’clock is elegantly executed, with white numerals on a colour-matched disc, in perfect harmony with the dial.

Precision powered from within

Like the original model launched in 1975, the new Laureato 42 mm is driven by an in-house calibre, now the GP01800 automatic movement, entirely developed and assembled at the Manufacture in La Chaux-de-Fonds. 

  Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Measuring just 3.97 mm thick, this selfwinding movement offers a power reserve of at least 54 hours. Every detail of the calibre reflects Girard-Perregaux’s rigorous standards: a pink gold oscillating weight

adorned with circular Côtes de Genève, straight Côtes de Genève on the bridges, mirror-polished screws, beveled edges, circular graining on the main plate, and gilded engravings.

These exceptional finishes are hallmarks of the high watchmaking that has defined the brand’s reputation for more than 230 years.
