The Girard Perregaux Laureato collection is a captivating blend of bold architectural inspirations and superior materials. It was christened ‘Laureato’ at the suggestion of Girard-Perregaux’s Italian distributor, referencing the iconic 1967 film The Graduate, known as Il Laureato in Italian. Milanese architect Adolfo Natalini is the genius behind the watch’s iconic design. He drew inspiration from the intricate architecture of the Santa Maria del Fiore cathedral in Florence, Italy. Therefore, we see echoes of domes and facades’ iconography throughout the watch’s visual aesthetic. Its design comprises a slim, octagon-shaped bezel that sits gracefully on a gracefully curved base. Furthermore, it features horizontal links integrated seamlessly into the base, giving an overall sleek and elegant look.
