The Watch: Originally designed in 1975, just three years after the Royal Oak, the Laureato helped establish the blueprint for luxury watches that combine sport and sophistication.
This 2022 example, reference 81010-11-431-11A, features a blue Clous de Paris dial housed in a 42mm stainless steel case. The octagonal bezel atop a circular plinth pays tribute to the model’s early design cues.
Powering the watch is the GP01800-0008 automatic movement, visible through the sapphire caseback. It beats at 28,800 vph, offers a 54-hour power reserve, and features fine finishing consistent with GP’s reputation as a true manufacture.
Water-resistant to 100 meters and only 10.88mm thick, the Laureato is both versatile and comfortable. This example shows only light signs of use and comes with box and papers from 2022.
