Back in the 1970s, the watch world was heavily shaped by a handful of defining trends, like TV-shaped cases, integrated bracelets, quartz movements, and especially two-tone designs, and Girard-Perregaux was right in the middle of it all with the iconic Girard-Perregaux Laureato. Now, more than five decades later, Girard-Perregaux is returning to its roots, honoring an era of fashion and watchmaking rarely replicated with an all-new Laureato Chronograph featured in a stunning two-tone ‘Chocolate’ colorway. 
Starting with the case, the Laureato’s sizeable yet comfortable tonneau-shaped design is crafted from 904L steel and contrasts with warm rose-gold accents on its octagonal bezel, crown, and pushers. The beautiful brown 'Clou de Paris' dial steals the show, with similar tones on the hands and indices that pull the entire look together. As with previous Laureato models, the balance between polished surfaces, angular lines, and softer curves remains key for nailing that quintessential 1970s luxury sports watch styling. Instead of using the traditional integrated steel bracelet, Girard-Perregaux opted for a brown rubber strap with that familiar hobnail texture, making it more casual and wearable.
Powering the watch is Girard-Perregaux’s in-house GP03300 automatic chronograph movement. The caliber features 419 components, 63 jewels, a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, and a power reserve of approximately 46 hours. Alongside its chronograph function, the movement also displays hours, minutes, small seconds, and date. The latest Laureato Chronograph continues to highlight Girard-Perregaux’s ability to combine sporty design, everyday comfort, and traditional haute horology in a watch that’s timeless in all every way.
