Girard-Perregaux Unveils The Laureato Chronograph Aston Martin Edition
With less than a month until the start of the new Formula 1 season, teams are gearing up behind the scenes, not just in terms of car performance but also in brand collaborations. Watches have long been intertwined with motorsport, and Girard-Perregaux continues this tradition through its enduring partnership with Aston Martin. The latest result of this alliance is the new Laureato Chronograph Aston Martin Edition, marking their sixth collaboration.
Unlike the 2023 Laureato editions, which featured a green ceramic case and a British Racing Green dial, the 2024 edition comes with a titanium case and an eye-catching iridescent green dial inspired by automotive paint.
The 42mm case, with a thickness of 12.60mm, follows the classic Laureato integrated design and boasts a predominantly satin finish. It is equipped with a sapphire crystal on both sides, an octagonal bezel set on a round pre-bezel, a signed crown at 3 o’clock flanked by two pushers, and an open case back secured by six screws. The Aston Martin logo is printed on the case back glass, while the watch also offers 100 meters of water resistance.
The gradient green dial, shifting between green and orange depending on the light angle, is a masterpiece that undergoes 14 manufacturing steps and requires 15 ultra-thin layers of paint application. This striking display is complemented by faceted indexes and openworked hands filled with Super-LumiNova. The dial layout includes three registers framed in silver with black scales: running seconds at 3 o’clock, a 12-hour counter at 6 o’clock, and a 30-minute register at 9 o’clock. A date window is positioned at 4:30, while the outer ring features a precise minute and second track. At the top, the embossed Girard-Perregaux logo and lettering enhance the refined aesthetics.
Powering the timepiece is the in-house self-winding Caliber GP03300 movement, composed of 419 components and 63 jewels. Running at 28,800 vibrations per hour, it delivers a power reserve of up to 46 hours. The watch is completed with an integrated titanium bracelet featuring a satin-finished surface, polished center links, and beveled edges. The folding clasp, engraved with the brand’s logo, ensures a secure and comfortable fit.
Limited to just 188 units, the Girard-Perregaux Laureato Chronograph Aston Martin Edition is priced at € 23,900. This exclusive timepiece merges high-performance watchmaking with the essence of motorsport, making it a sought-after collector’s item for both racing and horology enthusiasts.
