Harnessing the timeless character and elegance of green, as well as encompassing the symbolism of the virescent hue, Girard-Perregaux is pleased to release a new addition to the Laureato collection. The aptly-named Laureato 42mm Green perpetuates the story of this timeless classic which began life in 1975 and, despite the passage of time, has never aged or lost its aesthetic allure. The Laureato 42mm Green will go on sale in November 2022 and will be sold exclusively by Wempe for one month. Thereafter, the model will be available in all authorised Girard-Perregaux retailers.
Virescent shades are associated with harmony, health, hope and prosperity. Indeed, this bewitching hue means very much to very many and confers a lasting allure; green is not a fleeting fashion, it’s an enduring classic. Likewise, the Girard-Perregaux Laureato, launched in 1975, remains timeless and continues to engage with watch aficionados and devotees of accomplished design. Encased in steel with an integrated bracelet, the Laureato is a byword for versatility, proving suitable for all roles, whether sporty, casual or formal. Now, Girard-Perregaux unites the Laureato with a new, distinctive green dial. This hue is paired with a Clous de Paris dial pattern, accentuating the richness of the dial colour as it transitions from one shade to another, depending on the available light. All elements of the dial are framed with the Laureato’s octagonal bezel, a shape familiar to many devotees of Girard-Perregaux.

Lastly, the movement has a power reserve of at least 54 hours.
