Girard Perregaux debuts Laureato Infinite Grey watch
By Shivani Dubey | 25 June 2025 | Design
Girard Perregaux has released another iteration of the Laureato chronograph, this time with a grey Grand Feu enamel dial
Luxury watch brand Girard Perregaux has unveiled their latest addition to the Laureato chronograph collection: the Girard Perregaux Laureato 42mm Infinite Grey watch.
The Laureato first debuted 50 years ago in 1975, and to celebrate this milestone and pay tribute to the brand’s horological savoir faire, this iteration of the watch has a refined blueish hue and features a grey Grand Feu enamel dial.

The enamel is composed of a precise mixture of silica, minium, potash, and soda, finely ground into powder and combined with metal oxides to achieve its nuanced hue. Layered carefully onto the dial, it is then fired at around 800°C in a kiln – repeated five to 10 times – to achieve its radiant surface. A sunray flinqué motif lies beneath the translucent enamel layer, revealing the dial’s sense of depth.
While the Grand Feu enamel dial is certainly the star feature, the Girard Perregaux Laureato 42mm Infinite Grey watch also has a distinctive octagonal bezel, set atop a circular plinth and tonneau-shaped case, which creates a harmonious play of shapes and light.
Rhodium-plated baton hands mark the hours and minutes, while the slender central seconds hand features a counterweight inspired by the Girard-Perregaux Gold Bridge – a discreet tribute to the brand’s horological DNA.

Like the original model, the new Laureato 42 mm is driven by an in-house calibre, now the GP01800 automatic movement, entirely developed and assembled at the Manufacture in La Chaux-de-Fonds. Measuring at 3.97mm thickness, this self-winding movement offers a power reserve of at least 54 hours.
Finally, the Girard Perregaux Laureato watch comes with a sapphire crystal case and caseback, and features a steel bracelet with a polished and satin finish.
