Description

The Laureato has a distinctive style featuring a combination of shapes with an interesting contrast. The octagonal bezel offers unusual reflections of light as the sides gently flow into each other across convex and concave surfaces. In the Laureato Skeleton, the octagon reveals the intricate architecture of its pared-back movement – hand-finished as ever by masters in precision engineering.

This movement, derived from the famous GP01800 caliber, is treated using a galvanic process (anthracite gray ruthenium) and worked like a metal net. It enables the eye to follow the movement of energy thanks to the rhodium-plated geartrain. During this journey of discovery into the heart of a mechanical labyrinth comprising 173 components, including 25 jewels, the eyes come to rest on the sweep seconds at 10 o’clock carried by the seconds wheel. They are then in turn captivated by the quick oscillations of the regulating organ featuring a large variable inertia balance pulsating at 4 Hz (28,800 vibrations per hour).
