Girard Perregaux Laureato Skeleton 81015-11-001-11A Stainless Steel

The Girard-Perregaux Laureato Skeleton 81015-11-001-11A is a contemporary expression of architectural horology, bringing together the classic integrated sports watch design of the Laureato with the mechanical transparency of a fully openworked movement. Crafted entirely from stainless steel, this 42mm model delivers a striking blend of technical sophistication, daily wearability, and iconic design language.

The watch features the Laureato’s signature polished octagonal bezel atop a brushed tonneau-shaped case, preserving the original 1975 design while refining it for modern sensibilities. The 42mm case remains slim and versatile at just 10.93mm thick, making it an ideal option for those who seek a bold yet comfortable presence on the wrist.

Its skeletonized dial showcases the GP01800-0006 automatic movement, manufactured and finished entirely in-house by Girard-Perregaux. The open architecture reveals the movement’s gear train, balance wheel, and barrel, while satin-brushed and chamfered surfaces reflect light at every angle. The openworked gold rotor, also skeletonized, ensures that visual depth is uninterrupted from the front or through the sapphire crystal caseback. The movement beats at 28,800 vph and provides a 54-hour power reserve.

A black chapter ring with applied indexes offers clean framing for the mechanical display, and the skeletonized baton hands are filled with luminescent material for low-light legibility. This design maintains balance and function while placing the technical artistry at center stage.

The integrated stainless steel bracelet—a signature of the Laureato collection—features polished center links and brushed outer links, flowing seamlessly into the case for a unified, ergonomic fit. A triple folding clasp ensures comfort and secure closure.

The Laureato Skeleton 81015-11-001-11A is a compelling option for collectors who appreciate the fusion of avant-garde mechanics with time-honored design. It reflects Girard-Perregaux’s dual mastery of aesthetic form and movement innovation—delivering a steel sports watch with true haute horlogerie depth.
