  • Catalogue Essay

    Initially introduced in 1975, the Girard-Perregaux Laureato was originally developed as a quartz chronometer wristwatch. Regarded by collectors as one of the most important models introduced by the firm, the era witnessed the birth of important models released by various firms including the Royal Oak and the Nautilus. Throughout the decades, the Laureato has evolved into a wide array of complications, materials and sizes becoming an important pillar of the firm’s rich heritage.

    The present example Laureato Chronograph measuring 42mm in diameter is a modern interpretation featuring a stainless steel case and a bracelet. Exuding a sporty appeal, the case is complimented further by an attractive “clous de paris” textured ocean blue dial. Perfect watch for daily wear, the present example is offered in “like new” condition and is further accompanied by its full set of accessories.

  • Artist Biography

    Girard Perregaux

    Swiss • 1791

    Celebrating its 225th anniversary in 2016, the company earned its fame as the first vertically integrated Swiss watchmaking company, manufacturing high-grade movements, cases and dials within its premises. Particularly noteworthy are the brand's three-gold-bridge tourbillon pocket watches built by Constant Girard beginning in 1867 — considered amongst the most beautiful movement architectures ever made. An active participant in Switzerland's observatory chronometry competitions, the brand won so many precision awards that they were excluded from competing in 1901.

    Key models include nineteenth and twentieth century pocket watches with three gold bridges, modern tourbillon wristwatches with three gold bridges, minute repeating pocket and wristwatches, as well as sport watches such as the Laureato and Sea Hawk.
