Girard-Perregaux Chronograph USA Exclusive, Limited Edition Of 35 Pieces

Swiss watchmaker Girard-Perregaux has announced a limited edition Laureato watch intended exclusively for the United States market.  Presented in brushed 18-karat pink gold, the Girard-Perregaux Laureato Chronograph USA Exclusive measures an imposing 46mm in diameter.  The luxurious presence of the gold is counterbalanced by the sporty rubber coated bezel, chronograph pushpieces and winding crown; this contrast is further enhanced by the carbon fiber dial, with contrasting rose chronograph subdials and colorful accents of red and yellow.  A curved sapphire crystal offers excellent protection against scratches.

The Girard-Perregaux Laureato Chronograph USA Exclusive offers a 24-hour indication and pointer date display in addition to a chronograph with 12-hour and 30-minute counters.  These diverse functions are controlled by the self-winding GP033C0 caliber, a mechanical movement manufactured by Girard-Perregaux.  Balance frequency is 28,800 beats per hour, and power reserve is 46 hours.  The aesthetic aspects of the watchmaking craft are manifested in a range of fine decorative finishes, including Cotes de Geneve on the bridges and circular graining on the plate. 

Girard-Perregaux will produce 35 examples of the Laureato Chronograph USA watch.  Straps are in alligator leather or rubber and feature a pink gold folding clasp.  Water resistance of this Laureato model is 100 meters.
