Girard Perregaux Laureato Chronograph - Blue 42mm 81020-11-431-11A

Overview 

The Girard-Perregaux Laureato Chronograph reference 81020-11-431-11A in blue is a masterclass in refined sport-luxury design, offering a compelling alternative within the integrated bracelet chronograph segment. Introduced as part of the modern Laureato revival, this 42mm stainless steel chronograph carries forward the architectural elegance and sleek geometry that has defined the Laureato since its original 1975 debut. With its signature octagonal bezel resting atop a circular plinth and tonneau-shaped case, the watch embodies a sophisticated balance of form and function.

The blue dial is both deep and vibrant, shifting tone with the light and offering a rich canvas for the tri-compax chronograph layout. The dial’s "Clous de Paris" guilloché texture adds visual depth and refinement, a subtle detail for the discerning eye; with sub-dials at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock provide stopwatch functionality and running seconds, with a date window nestled between 4 and 5. The applied baton hour markers and hands are filled with Super-LumiNova for excellent visibility.

Beneath solid steel caseback beats the in-house GP03300-0137 automatic chronograph movement, a demonstration of Girard-Perregaux’s technical competence and watchmaking heritage. With 435 components, this movement is beautifully decorated with perlage and Côtes de Genève, while a finely finished rotor provides a constant reminder of the craftsmanship inside. The movement delivers a 46-hour power reserve, and the chronograph functions are actuated via pushers that are well-proportioned and subtly integrated into the case profile.

The Laureato Chronograph 42mm in blue strikes a thoughtful balance between sporty presence and classical restraint. It wears comfortably due to its curved case and seamless integrated stainless steel bracelet, while its dimensions offer a commanding yet versatile wrist presence. For collectors seeking a chronograph with genuine horological pedigree, distinctive aesthetics, and the luxury of in-house manufacturing, this Girard-Perregaux stands confidently among the finest—an understated icon for the modern connoisseur.
