2024 Girard-Perregaux Laureato Absolute Sapphire Case - Box and Papers (Ref. 81071-43-2022-1CX )

$49,900.00

Worth A Read

History & Significance

The Laureato has long been Girard-Perregaux’s answer to the modern luxury sports watch, combining sharp geometry with genuine in-house watchmaking. The Absolute line takes that foundation and pushes it further, focusing on contemporary materials and a more technical presence. The “Light and Shade” variant is one of the most distinctive executions of the series, using a fully transparent sapphire case paired with titanium structural elements to create a watch that feels architectural rather than ornamental.

This reference highlights Girard-Perregaux’s willingness to experiment while staying grounded in serious horology. The skeletonized movement is fully visible from both sides, emphasizing depth, symmetry, and mechanical layout. Despite its bold appearance, the watch remains very wearable thanks to its integrated rubber strap and balanced proportions. It is a modern statement piece that still fits naturally within the Laureato lineage.

Writer’s Thoughts

This is a striking watch in person. The transparent sapphire case gives it a light, almost floating feel on the wrist, while the titanium elements add contrast and definition. It wears large on paper, but the short lug structure and integrated strap keep it comfortable. For someone looking for a contemporary, technically interesting Laureato that stands apart from traditional steel models, this is one of the most compelling options in the lineup.
