Laureato 38 81005 - Blue Clous de Paris Dial - Full Set - 2022

The Girard-Perregaux Laureato is one of the great unsung integrated-bracelet sports watches, designed in 1975 by an Italian architectural studio and predating many better-known peers in the genre. This 2022 example in the modern 39mm steel format pairs the iconic octagonal-within-round bezel with the highly sought-after blue Clous de Paris guilloché dial.
