Girard-Perregaux introduces the Laureato Chronograph Aston Martin Edition, a timepiece that encapsulates the essence of high-performance engineering and fine watchmaking.
The Laureato Chronograph Aston Martin Edition unites Aston Martin’s legendary automotive craftsmanship with Girard-Perregaux’s horological expertise, offering an experience that seamlessly blends precision, innovation, and aesthetics.
One of the standout elements of this edition is its captivating iridescent dial, influenced by the rich legacy of British sports cars.
Through a meticulous 14-step process, the dial is coated with 15 ultra-thin layers of automotive paint, resulting in a striking green hue that shifts to orange depending on how light interacts with its surface. This dynamic color transformation reflects the meticulous detailing found in Aston Martin’s renowned vehicles.
Crafted from Grade 5 titanium, the case and bracelet of the Laureato Chronograph Aston Martin Edition emphasize both strength and lightweight performance. The watch exhibits a refined mix of polished and brushed finishes, adding depth to its aesthetic appeal.
Skeletonized hands, inspired by Aston Martin’s iconic front grille, contribute to its distinctive character, while grey-toned PVD-treated indices and counters complement the titanium case. Enhanced with luminescent elements, the timepiece ensures optimal legibility even in low-light environments.
At its core, the timepiece houses Girard-Perregaux’s in-house GP03300 automatic movement, which can be admired through a sapphire crystal caseback engraved with the Aston Martin logo. Showcasing the brand’s dedication to craftsmanship, the movement is adorned with Geneva stripes, beveling, and mirror-polished screws.
In addition to a small seconds display, the watch features a 30-minute and 12-hour chronograph register, as well as a discreetly positioned date window between four and five o’clock—balancing functionality with elegant design.
This model builds on the legacy of the Laureato, originally introduced in 1975 and celebrated for its perfect harmony between form and function. By merging Aston Martin’s cutting-edge automotive innovations with Girard-Perregaux’s tradition of watchmaking excellence, the Laureato Chronograph Aston Martin Edition exemplifies the intersection of precision, performance, and style.
Since 1922, Aston Martin has been closely associated with the color green, a tradition that emerged when its cars competed under the British flag. This signature shade later became known as British Racing Green. Inspired by this rich heritage, the brand now offers its clients a curated selection of nine exclusive green tones, along with limitless customization options through its bespoke service, Q by Aston Martin.
Echoing this historic identity, the new Laureato Chronograph Aston Martin Edition features an elegantly crafted green dial. Girard-Perregaux has masterfully reinterpreted a distinctive iridescent shade from Aston Martin’s color palette, paying tribute to the brand’s racing legacy. The application of this unique color follows a highly intricate manufacturing process, ensuring an exceptional finish.
Set to be available worldwide starting February 19, 2025, this exclusive timepiece reinforces the enduring partnership between two icons of engineering and design, bridging the worlds of luxury automobiles and fine watchmaking.
