Girard-Perregaux is pleased to unveil the new Laureato Absolute Light & Shade. Measuring 44 mm in diameter, the case of this latest model is made from metallized sapphire crystal, endowing the watch with a fascinating brilliance. The model exhibits a visually light appearance through transparency, while conversely it also looks dark and reflective. This visual lightness is accompanied by a low mass of just 85 grams.
The new Laureato Absolute Light & Shade upholds its ethos by revealing the movement to glorious effect courtesy of the sapphire crystal case. The main plate of the in-house movement, the Calibre GP01800-1143, is octagonal-shaped, a respectful nod to the Laureato’s famous bezel. The skeletonized movement provides a fascinating vista of curves and lines enriched with pockets of light and shade.
Paying homage to the Chinese New Year, the new Laureato Light & Fire reveals a deep and captivating red colour; evoking thoughts of energy, vitality and prosperity. Limited to just 18 pieces, the model shares much in common with the Laureato Absolute Light & Shade but is housed in a new polycrystalline material named YAG. Like sapphire crystal, this translucent material is hard and scratch-resistant, but also offers a variety of dark shades.
The Laureato Absolute Light & Shade and The Laureato Absolute Light & Fire will be available in Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons boutiques early June at The Dubai Mall and the Mall of the Emirates.
