Laureato 42mm Green "Clous de Paris" Dial

The Story

The Girard-Perregaux Laureato stands as an undisputed sovereign in the pantheon of integrated luxury sports watches. Conceived in 1975 by a Milanese architect, the Laureato’s enduring genius lies in its bold geometry: a perfectly brushed octagonal bezel nested seamlessly within a polished circular ring. This 42mm reference (81010-11-3153-1CM) infuses this legendary silhouette with an electric vibrant green dial. Featuring a sunray finish that interacts dynamically with natural light, it shifts from an emerald brilliance to a moody forest green, offering a sophisticated, high-character statement for the connoisseur who leads rather than follows trends.

The Craft: Masterful Finishing & Ultra-Thin Architecture

The 42mm stainless steel case sits with exceptional ergonomics, maintaining a impressively slim profile of under 11mm that allows it to retain absolute dress-watch sophistication. The deep green dial is treated with a traditional "Clous de Paris" hobnail pattern, creating a microscopic pyramid grid that captures light from every angle. This rich canvas is detailed with batons hands, applied indices, and a color-matched date window neatly integrated at 3 o'clock.

Visible through the sapphire crystal exhibition caseback is the Manufacture Calibre GP01800. This beautifully thin, self-winding in-house engine is decorated to haute horlogerie standards, showcasing circular graining, polished bevels, and flawless Côtes de Genève stripes across the bridges and rotor. It operates with chronometric stability, providing a robust 54-hour power reserve. The watch is paired with its iconic integrated steel bracelet, celebrated for its fluid, H-shaped satin-finished links and mirror-polished central plots. Complete with a screw-down crown, it supports a highly practical 100 meters (330 feet) of water resistance.

This exceptional timepiece is presented in Excellent overall condition, showing only the absolute lightest, minor signs of careful previous wear on its polished steel surfaces.
