Girard-Perregaux Laureato 42mm 'Aston Martin' Edition

There’s no question that cars and watches go together.

But in the realm of automotive-inspired watches, brands often over-do the automotive theme to the point where the entire thing looks, well, gimmicky. There are only a handfulof executions that tastefully blend both worlds. Less is more, after all.

As is such with this particular Girard-Perregaux Aston Martin Laureato. The partnership between the two storied brands began back in 2021 and was brought to new heights with the release of GP’s integrated sports watch adorned in British Racing Green.

However, it’s not a steel integrated sports watch, but a ceramic integrated sports watch. The entire watch including thecase and bracelet is comprised of a particular ceramic made from zirconium and metallic oxides in a blend that allows for the various stain and polish finishes we see here. The 42mm green ceramic case features a satin finished octagonal bezel, a signed screw downcrown and a sapphire crystal.

The dial is green as well, but it’s the sunburst finish and the 'webbing' pattern synonymous with the grill of a sports car that brings it to life. The textured dial also features an outerluminous minute track and a matching 'skeletonized' luminous handset. The entire rig comes fitted to an integrated ceramic braceletwith a signed double fold-over clasp and houses the GP Calibre GP03300-2166 automatic winding movement.

In a watch world filled with integrated sports watches, this GP Aston Martin Laureato stands out among thepack.

Don’t let this one slip through your fingers!
