Girard Perregaux Laureato Skeleton 81015-52-002-52A Rose Gold

The Girard-Perregaux Laureato Skeleton 81015-52-002-52A in 18k rose gold is a bold and sophisticated interpretation of the brand’s iconic integrated sports watch—reimagined with a fully skeletonized in-house movement that balances architectural openness with mechanical excellence. Crafted in solid rose gold and sized at 42mm, this reference elevates the Laureato line with a visually striking and technically impressive design aimed at connoisseurs of haute horlogerie.

The octagonal bezel, a defining feature of the Laureato since its 1975 debut, sits atop a brushed and polished tonneau-shaped case that seamlessly flows into the integrated rose gold bracelet. Despite its luxurious material, the case retains the sporty and ergonomic profile the Laureato is known for, and is just 10.93mm thick, making it highly wearable for a skeletonized complication.

At the heart of the watch is the GP01800-0006 movement, completely openworked to reveal its inner workings while maintaining strength and stability. Every bridge and plate has been meticulously skeletonized and hand-finished with satin brushing and chamfered edges. The automatic winding rotor, also crafted in 18k gold, is open to preserve visual transparency and allow full appreciation of the movement’s depth. Beating at 28,800 vph, it delivers a 54-hour power reserve and is regulated to strict chronometric standards.

The dial—or lack thereof—is framed by a black minute track ring, with rose gold baton-style hour markers and hands filled with luminescent material for legibility. The exposed movement reveals the gear train, escapement, and barrel in motion, making the passage of time both mechanical and sculptural.

The integrated rose gold bracelet features alternating brushed and polished surfaces and is fitted with a folding clasp for both security and style. The seamless transition from case to bracelet enhances the watch’s cohesive, contemporary design.

The Girard-Perregaux Laureato Skeleton 81015-52-002-52A is a luxurious and technically daring statement piece, ideal for collectors who seek a blend of iconic sports watch heritage, modern finishing, and openworked mechanical artistry. It stands as a testament to the maison’s ability to merge design purity with horological depth.
