A Wealth of Dial, Strap & Bracelet Variations!

A chronograph has been added to Girard-Perregaux's signature sporty-chic collection, the Laureato. The Laureato is characterized by its octagonal bezel and integrated case design. While the first Laureato model was released in 1975, it was revived as a permanent collection in 2016 after a limited edition model was announced in 2015, with a new chronograph added in 2018.

The Laureato Chronograph is offered in stainless steel or 18K pink gold cases, in two sizes: 42mm and 38mm. The dials come in three colors: silver, black, and dark blue. Featuring the "Clous de Paris" hobnail pattern, a type of guilloché decoration, the silver dial's color contrast with the three subdials creates a fashionable and elegant impression.

It is powered by an automatic chronograph movement with 30-minute and 60-minute counters, small seconds, and a date display. This ensures precise timekeeping, approximately 46 hours of power reserve, and smooth pusher operation. The stainless steel case utilizes "904L" material, known for its high corrosion and scratch resistance, and is finished with a beautiful polish.
