The Watch: One of the first luxury steel sports watches, the Girard-Perregaux Laureato was released in 1975. Named after the 1970s film “Il Laureato”, or The Graduate, The Laureato is often considered to be one of the forerunners of the luxury steel sports watch category. Debuting a year before the Patek Philippe Nautilus, the Laureato helped to define what a luxury steel sports watch could be. This 42mm example is a 2017 grey dial model that is nearly unmarked an sits perfectly on the wrist. With a more elegant exterior than the Royal Oak, and a brand history dating back to 1791, this example is a great daily wear for a collector.
