Girard-Perregaux Elevates Laureato With Slim New Tourbillon Sports Watch
Girard-Perregaux has made a very special version of its Laureato sports watch.
It is 39 millimetres wide and made from steel.
Inside is a tourbillon, which is a moving part designed to make the watch’s timekeeping more precise.
The watch also uses a small micro-rotor to wind itself without hiding the movement.
It can have either a deep-blue enamel dial or a gold dial.
The design includes details inspired by the company’s long history.
The watch can run for up to 72 hours when fully wound.
It costs at least $95,600 and is not a limited edition.
However, its 50-metre water resistance is lower than that of the simpler Laureato Fifty.
Girard-Perregaux has introduced the 39mm steel Laureato Fifty Tourbillon Micro-Rotor.
The watch features a newly developed GP8410 automatic movement with a micro-rotor and 72-hour power reserve.
Buyers can choose between a blue Grand Feu enamel dial and a rose-toned solid 18-carat gold dial.
The design draws on Girard-Perregaux’s historic bridges, tourbillon cage and Laureato styling.
Pricing starts at $95,600, but the watch offers only 50 metres of water resistance.
