Stepping up in Girard-Perregaux's range
The Laureato traces its origins to 1975, when Girard-Perregaux introduced the octagonal bezel on a circular case at a moment when the integrated-bracelet sports watch was becoming the defining conversation in Swiss horology. This green dial variant entered the permanent collection following a limited appearance in late 2022, and the colour does something specific to the model's character: the sunray green shifts through shades as the light moves across the hobnail guilloché, a pattern of tiny raised pyramids that scatters the dial into something closer to texture than surface. At 10.68mm thick, this is a notably slim 42mm watch — slim enough to disappear under a shirt cuff, which is not a given at this case diameter or this depth rating. The integrated bracelet, with its satin outer links flanking polished centres, flows from case to wrist without a visible break, and the triple-folding deployment buckle with safety buttons makes daily removal as unthought as putting it on. The GP01800 is built in-house to a standard the exhibition caseback earns its presence: Côtes de Genève on the bridges, circular perlage on the mainplate, a decorated rotor. The power reserve indicator adds a practical register to a watch that could have settled for date alone, and 54 hours of reserve means a weekend off the wrist is no cause for concern come Monday.

Learn more about Girard-Perregaux
The company traces to Jean-François Bautte, who was making watches in Geneva by 1791, and takes its name from the 1854 marriage of Constant Girard and Marie Perregaux, which joined two watchmaking families.
Its signature is a bridge. Constant Girard's Tourbillon with Three Gold Bridges, developed from 1867 and patented in the United States in 1884, arranged the barrel, gear train, and tourbillon in a line beneath three parallel arrow-shaped bridges — turning the movement architecture itself into the design. Most decorative watchmaking hides its structure; this made structure the ornament. It remains the house's defining object.
Girard-Perregaux also has a serious claim on modern quartz: in 1971 it developed a quartz wristwatch calibre oscillating at 32,768 Hz, and that frequency became the industry standard used in essentially every quartz watch since.
The company supplied precision pocket watches to the German Imperial Navy in the 1880s, an early example of the wristwatch being taken seriously as a professional instrument.
Modern collections include the Laureato, an integrated-bracelet sports watch dating from 1975 that predates most of its rivals, and the Free Bridge and Neo lines, which rework the bridge architecture in contemporary materials. The house is owned by Kering.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Can I swim with it?
Yes. At 100m it is rated for swimming and snorkelling, though not for diving.
Water resistance explainedWill the glass scratch?
Unlikely. Sapphire is second only to diamond in hardness and shrugs off everyday marking.
Sapphire, mineral and acrylic comparedDoes it need a battery?
No. It is automatic — the motion of your wrist winds it, and there is no cell to replace.
Quartz, automatic and solar comparedHow long does it run for when it's not worn?
About 54 hours fully wound — enough to survive a night off the wrist, but not a full weekend.
Will it fit my wrist?
Lug-to-lug is 49.2mm, which suits wrists from roughly 16.5cm (6½ inches) upward.
Lug-to-lug decides fit more than case diameter does.
