Girard Perregaux Laureato Green 42mm 81010-11-3153-1CM 2022 [Preowned]

Overview

The Girard-Perregaux Laureato 42mm "Green" is a masterful contemporary evolution of one of the most significant integrated-bracelet designs in Swiss watchmaking. Originally debuted in 1975, the Laureato was a pioneer of the luxury sports category, and this modern iteration reaffirms Girard-Perregaux’s quiet authority in the segment. Launched in late 2022, this specific reference breathed new life into the collection, introducing a colorway that perfectly bridges the gap between the Laureato’s 1970s heritage and 21st-century aesthetic trends.

The watch’s defining characteristic is its mesmerizing forest green dial, a hue that brings a fresh, organic energy to the Laureato’s architectural silhouette. The dial is decorated with a traditional “Clous de Paris” hobnail pattern, a three-dimensional texture that captures and refracts light, causing the green tone to shift from a deep, moody emerald to a vibrant moss depending on the angle. This play of light is further enhanced by the signature octagonal bezel, which sits atop a circular plinth—a complex geometric arrangement that defines the Laureato's "circle-within-a-polygon" design language.

Powering this timepiece is the in-house Calibre GP01800, a self-winding mechanical movement that showcases the Maison’s deep manufacturing pedigree. Visible through a sapphire exhibition caseback, the movement is a work of art, featuring meticulous finishing including circular Côtes de Genève, perlage, and polished bevels. It delivers a robust 54-hour power reserve and is equipped with a heavy pink gold oscillating weight, ensuring high winding efficiency and a touch of hidden luxury beneath the steel exterior.

The integration of the bracelet is where the Laureato truly excels; the stainless steel links transition seamlessly from the case, featuring a sophisticated interplay of satin-brushed H-shaped links and mirror-polished center elements. This contrast highlights the watch's jewelry-like finish while maintaining its sporty utility. With its 100-meter water resistance and refined profile, the 81010 Green is a compelling alternative in the integrated-bracelet landscape—a watch that speaks to collectors who value historical depth, in-house technicality, and a colorway that is both timely and timeless.
