Girard-Perregaux Laureato 38 Copper

We recently reviewed the Girard-Perregaux Laureato with a green dial, but that model had a 42mm case. Now they’ve returned to this esplendid collection by adding a new 38mm option, for those with smaller wrists. Plus an extra novelty comes in the form of this dial that GP has termed “copper”, due to its complex and dynamic appearance which varies in shades depending on the available light source.The 38mm case is made of stainless-steel with a satin-brushed finish, while mounted by the model's signature octagon-over-circle shaped bezel. The circular portion adds a polished contrast to the overall brushed look.On the flip-side is a transparent sapphire exhibition case back that allows a view into the inner workings of the mechanical movement. The 18k rose gold oscillating weight features the brand's inscription.It comes equipped with a knurled crown embossed with the GP logo. This crown, the circular ring of the bezel, and center links of the bracelet, together provide a polished contrast that enhances each individual part. Water-resistance can reach up to 100 meters (330 feet).Time is exhibited on a copper dial with a “Clous de Paris” hobnail motif with white hour index markers, followed by a ring circling around the flange with thin white printed minute index markers and thicker marks for each five-minute increment, to enhance contrast.

The upper-half features the prominent “GP” logo at the 12 o’clock position, while underneath is a plaque with “GIRARD-PERREGAUX”, and the lower-half reads “LAUREATO AUTOMATIC”, all printed with the brand's historic serif-style font.The central sword-shaped hands and hour index markers have undergone a luminescent coating, for an enhanced legibility. There is also a date window with a copper background and white numerals at the 3 o’clock position.
