The Laureato, introduced in 1975, is positioned as an often-overlooked integrated-bracelet sports watch, predating similar iconic models from Patek Philippe, IWC, and Vacheron Constantin.
The case design features an octagonal bezel on a polished circular ring, with a contrast between circular satin-brushed surfaces and mirror-polished bevels.
The Blue Enamel variant (39mm) features hand-fired Grand Feu enamel and omits the date window for symmetry.
The Rose Gold-Toned models (39mm & 36mm) have dials stamped onto 18K solid rose gold plates and include a date window at 3 o'clock.
The Silver-Toned 36mm model is paired with a bezel set with 64 brilliant-cut diamonds (approx. 0.55 carats) and includes a date window.
Dials utilize a traditional hobnail (Clous de Paris) pattern, and hands and indices are crafted from 18K white gold (blue enamel, silver) or 18K rose gold (gold-toned versions), all treated with blue-emitting SuperLuminova.
The in-house GP4800 caliber features circular Geneva stripes, polished bevels, perlage, an 18K pink gold balance bridge inspired by the Three Bridges, and a skeletonized rotor.
The movement operates at 28,800 vph (4 Hz), has 163 parts and 19 jewels, and incorporates a silicon escapement and a variable-inertia balance.
