Girard-Perregaux Evolves the Laureato with the Absolute Collection
Three years after the Laureato first reappeared in Girard-Perregaux’s catalog, there is little doubt that it isn’t the headlining collection for the brand. Since it’s limited-edition re-introduction at Baselworld 2016, we’ve seen skeletons, chronographs, and a large number of variations in size, material, and color. In 2019, to go along with a new Laureato Perpetual Calendar, Girard-Perregaux is launching the Laureato Absolute, a new collection of three timepieces that transitions the Laureato from its Royal Oak-esque hobnail dial and into a more contemporary dégradé blue dial with a satin-brushed and black PVD-coated titanium case in its recognizable octagonal shape.
The three new watches are a time-and-date only model, a chronograph, and a worldtimer. All three use the same design language, such as the previously mentioned dial color and 44-mm case design, and boast an impressive water resistance rating of 300 meters. In addition, all three models utilize manufacture movements. Other details like the sunburst finish on the dial, the Super-LumiNova-applied baton hour and minute hands, and the Girard-Perregaux-branded black rubber strap remain consistent throughout as well.
The Laureato Absolute is a fairly traditional three-hander with date at 6 o’clock. It’s the only model of the three that uses a red seconds hand instead of white. The movement inside is automatic caliber GP03300-1060 with a power reserve of 46 hours.
