  • Catalogue Essay

    Launched in 1975, the Girard-Perregaux Laureato was released a year before the Patek Philippe Nautilus. Differing from its similar counterparts, the Laureato was the firm’s answer to the booming trend of luxury steel sports wristwatches, featuring a quartz caliber at first. After a decade, the Laureato was developed with a self-winding movement. Iconic and recognizable at immediately glance, the signature trait is its fixed hexagonal bezel with and its integrated bracelet. Over the decades, the Laureato has enjoyed a wide array of variants with newly incorporated materials and complications.

    In 2016, the firm reintroduced their time-only model with a modernized 41mm diameter case and its classic hobnail dial. Since then, various limited editions of the model were launched in small quantities each equipped with an Eastern Arabic dial in various colors. The present example is arguably the most desirable among its peers. Displayed upon an electrifying Tiffany blue dial with its rare Eastern Arabic numerals, the present example belongs to a limited edition of 50 pieces made specifically for their loyal clients from the Middle East. Offered for the first time at auction, the present example is offered in “like new” overall condition with no signs of use and wear.
