Introducing Girard-Perregaux Unveils the Laureato Three Gold Bridges Tourbillon

Founded in 1791, Girard-Perregaux stands among the oldest continuously operating Swiss watch manufactures. Over more than two centuries, the brand has built a reputation for technical innovation and distinctive movement architecture. One of its most recognizable signatures is the Three Bridges design, a construction that first appeared in the 19th century and later became a defining symbol of the manufacture. This heritage now meets one of the brand’s most important modern collections with the Laureato Three Gold Bridges Tourbillon, created to mark the 50th anniversary of the Laureato line.

Originally introduced in 1975, the Laureato was conceived as Girard-Perregaux’s vision of the luxury sports watch with an integrated bracelet. Over time, it became a cornerstone of the brand’s catalogue, known for its octagonal bezel, strong architectural lines, and a balanced mix of sportiness and refinement. For this anniversary edition, Girard-Perregaux combines Laureato's iconic case with the legendary Three Bridges tourbillon movement.

The watch is housed in a stainless steel case measuring 41 mm in diameter and 10.85 mm in thickness. The case features a mix of brushed and polished surfaces, giving it the recognizable Laureato character. The octagonal bezel is crafted in white gold, and the caseback is fitted with a sapphire crystal that allows a full view of the movement. The watch offers a water resistance rating of 30 meters.

The dial presents an openworked architectural display that exposes the movement. Applied hour markers sit on a peripheral flange, while central hands indicate the hours and minutes. The tourbillon at 6 o’clock carries a small seconds indication.

Powering the watch is the in-house automatic Calibre GP9620. It operates at a frequency of 21,600 vph (3 Hz) and delivers a power reserve of 55 hours. The movement uses a cleverly concealed platinum micro-rotor integrated behind the mainspring barrel. The signature three horizontal bridges structure supports the barrel, gear train, and tourbillon, preserving Girard-Perregaux’s historic visual identity.

The watch is fitted with an integrated stainless steel bracelet that flows seamlessly from the case. It is secured with a folding clasp and offers a comfortable, ergonomic fit. The standard version of the watch is limited to 50 pieces. A diamond-set version is also available with the same limited quantity.

The standard version is priced at CHF 162,000, approximately AED 737,900. The diamond-set version is priced at CHF 215,500, approximately AED 981,550.
