A Sparkling Twist On Girard-Perregaux's Iconic Laureato 

Introducing a new reference of the Laureato 38mm Copper—adorned with 56 brilliant-cut diamonds on the bezel Introducing The All-New Girard-Perregaux Laureato Copper Diamond Bezel Giving a sparkling spin to its 2022 model, Girard-Perregaux has introduced a new reference of the Laureato 38mm Copper—adorned with 56 brilliant-cut diamonds on the bezel Born in the 18th century, Girard-Perregaux is one of the most coveted brands in the Swiss watchmaking industry, known for its timeless designs and precision engineering. Since its inception, the maison has been implementing its haute horlogerie know-how to churn out some outstanding pieces that has become part of iconic collections such as the Vintage 1945, the Bridges, the 1966 line, or the Laureato—launched in 1975. The Laureato story Sporty, swanky, timeless, and memorable, the Laureato was launched as a luxury sports timepiece as the segment witnessed a boom in the horlogerie space. The model featured a raised octagonal bezel and an integrated bracelet—way ahead of its time. Other than these key components, it also had an in-house slim, ultra-precise Swiss quartz movement—in response to the quartz crisis, which had shaken the foundations of the Swiss mechanical watchmaking industry. The name Laureato has an interesting story and according to some theories, the watch got its name at the suggestion of Girard-Perregaux’s Italian distributor, referencing the iconic 1967 film "The Graduate" (known as Il Laureato in Italian). However, the brand has never confirmed or denied this, and today, the Laureato is one of the five signature pillars of the Girard-Perregaux family. Over the years, the Laureato collection has undergone several transformations—1984’s mechanical version, crossover with the Three Gold Bridges in the ‘90s, the athleisure pieces of 2017, and the complication models in 2019. In 2022, the house released the Laureato 38mm Copper with its distinct octagonal bezel, interlinked bracelet, and Clous de Paris motif on its dial. This year, they have passed the baton to its successor—the Girard-Perregaux Laureato 38mm Copper Diamond Bezel. Here's more about the two copper-hued iterations from the Laureato collection.

They are strategically placed all over the bezel with the larger stones adorning the eight corners and the smaller ones filling the space in between. Interestingly, while the precious stones appear colourless at first, they reveal the shades of the electromagnetic spectrum once rotated. The result is a glittering specimen amalgamated with the sophistication of the model’s clean aesthetics. The sparkling appearance of the diamonds is complemented by the polished central links of the integrated bracelet, heightening the model’s overall lustre.

Housed in a 38mm steel case, both of these mid-size timepieces are endowed with a copper-coloured dial, enriched with a Clous de Paris motif. This classical pattern, composed of multiple pyramidal structures, imbues the dial with a three-dimensional appearance. While the dial appears copper from some angles, it can sometimes appear ochre or resemble burnt oak, as well as a myriad of shades in between. It is this dynamic character that confers tonal contrast and imparts lasting joy. The baton-type hour and minute hands beautifully complement the matching indexes. Both the hands and indexes are lined with luminescent material and reveal a white glow in dim light. The golden central sweep seconds hand sits in concert with the copper-hued dial and matches the brand logo placed at 12 o’clock. An aperture, positioned adjacent to the crown, presents the date in white text, set atop a copper-toned disc, matching the dominant dial hue as horological etiquette dictates.

One can view the main plate with circular graining and other features such as bevelling, mirror-polishing, satin finishing, snailing, sunray finishing, and engraving. The bridges are decorated with straight Côtes de Genève and the pink gold oscillating weight is embellished with circular Côtes de Genève. Beating at a frequency of 28,800vph, the watch boasts a power reserve of at least 46 hours, when fully wound.

Masterfully playing with light, tonal shades, and different shapes, they represent the latest chapter in the Laureato story—a legend that began in 1975. As the next year marks 50 years since the birth of the Laureato, we might see renditions of the timepiece that are a bit more daring. For now, however, Girard-Perregaux seems to have followed the adage: don’t fix what isn’t broken.
