Quick TakeThe Laureato Absolute Light & Shade is a mesmerizing paradox—a timepiece where the ethereal meets the tangible. The skeletonized movement, visible through the sapphire case, seems to float within, an intricate ballet of gears and springs. Yet, the solid titanium elements ground this ethereal display, a reminder of the watch's precision and resilience. This is a watch for the dreamer and the doer, a testament to the belief that beauty and function can coexist in perfect harmony. It's not just a watch; it's a wearable work of art, a conversation starter, and a horological masterpiece that captures the essence of time itself.

DescriptionThe Laureato Absolute Light & Shade, reference 81071-43-2022-1CX, is a testament to Girard-Perregaux's mastery of materials and intricate watchmaking. The case, measuring 44mm in diameter and 11.56mm in thickness, is crafted from a unique combination of metallised sapphire crystal and titanium, creating a visually stunning and robust housing for the movement.

The transparent case provides an unobstructed view of the skeletonized GP01800 caliber, a self-winding mechanical movement beating at 28,000 vibrations per hour. The octagonal-shaped mainplate of the movement, a tribute to the Laureato's iconic bezel, showcases the meticulous craftsmanship involved in its creation. The movement comprises 172 components, 25 jewels, and boasts a minimum power reserve of 54 hours, ensuring reliable timekeeping. Notably, the oscillating weight is crafted from gold, adding a touch of luxury to the intricate mechanics. The Laureato Absolute Light & Shade is water-resistant up to 30 meters, making it suitable for everyday wear while maintaining its exceptional elegance. Completing the watch is a black rubber strap with a titanium PVD folding buckle, offering comfort and security on the wrist.
