For a brand founded in 1791, fifty years may not sound like a long time—but for Girard-Perregaux and its most popular model, the Laureato, this anniversary is worth marking. Initially introduced in 1975, as shown below, the Laureato arrived at the height of the integrated-bracelet sports-watch trend, in quartz no less, nestled between the 1972 Royal Oak and the 1976 Nautilus. Now, to celebrate the half-century mark, the Girard-Perregaux Laureato Fifty brings the design full circle.
