n 1867, Girard-Perregaux introduced the Three Bridges to the world. Transcending mere functionality by revealing the beauty of the movement, it became one of the oldest and most enduring design signatures in watchmaking. In 1975, the House launched the Laureato — the first and only fully in-house developed, designed and crafted integrated-bracelet watch — an octagonal icon that celebrates its 50th anniversary this year. Yesterday, today and tomorrow now converge in a new icon – the Laureato Three Gold Bridges, a masterpiece uniting two legends, where craftsmanship and innovation become one.

This timepiece is introduced in a new 41mm size, revealing a renewed Laureato design where every detail has been refined for perfect aesthetic balance and ergonomic comfort. At its heart, it incorporates a purpose-built tourbillon movement, the new in-house calibre GP9620 — designed, developed and crafted in-house. Personally signed by the master watchmaker who assembles it from start to finish, this calibre embodies the highest standards of finishing, featuring sandblasted, circular and straight satin surfaces, and no fewer than 418 hand-polished angles, of which 362 are inward angles.

The Laureato Three Gold Bridges is limited to 50 pieces, while the diamond-set version is not limited.

Price: CHF 162,000/CHF 215,000 (diamond-set)
