Girard-Perregaux Laureato 42mm Green dial

The Girard-Perregaux Laureato is one of those watches that true enthusiasts whisper about - a steel sports watch with an octagonal bezel and integrated bracelet that's been around since the 1970s, yet somehow flies under the radar compared to its more famous rivals, which honestly makes it even cooler to wear. This 2023 example features a stunning green dial that catches the light in the most satisfying way, with clean line indices that keep everything elegant and easy to read. At 42mm, it sits confidently on the wrist without being over the top, and at just under 11mm thick, it slides under a shirt cuff with no drama. The in-house GP01800 automatic caliber beats away inside, giving you a solid 54 hours of power reserve - meaning you can take it off Friday evening and it'll still be ticking when you reach for it Monday morning. Flip it over and you'll find a display caseback, so you can admire all that beautiful finishing whenever the mood strikes. The steel bracelet with its signature grooved pattern is incredibly comfortable and gives the whole package a sporty-luxurious vibe that works just as well with a suit as it does with a weekend polo shirt. It comes as a complete set with box and papers, which is always a nice bonus for collectors who appreciate the full package. If you've been looking for a refined luxury sports watch that says "I know what I'm doing" without shouting about it, the Laureato in green might just be your perfect match.
