Featuring enamel and solid-gold dials, a new 36mm case size, and the in-house Caliber GP4800 with a rose-gold balance bridge, the anniversary models highlight the enduring appeal of one of Swiss watchmaking’s most recognizable luxury sports watches with integrated-bracelet design.
A refined take on a 1970s-inspired aesthetic, Girard-Perregaux’s latest Laureato Chronograph combines steel and rose gold with a richly textured brown dial and in-house chronograph movement.
