Unleash the Unseen: Girard-Perregaux Unveils the Laureato Skeleton Aston Martin Limited Edition in Black Ceramic

The tale of mechanical watches and motorsports narrates a beautiful duet that keeps gaining momentum. When Girard-Perregaux came under the leadership of Italian CEO Luigi Macaluso, an ex-rally driver, the horology brand forged a decade-long partnership with Ferrari in 1994. In 2021, now headed by Patrick Pruniaux, Girard-Perregaux has proudly become the official watch collaborator of British performance automobile manufacturer, Aston Martin. This marriage birthed the Laureato Skeleton Aston Martin Edition. Crafted with luxurious elegance, the model boasts a black ceramic case and bracelet, accentuated by Aston Martin’s distinctive Racing Green touches, and a beautifully openworked movement.

The Laureato Skeleton Aston Martin impresses with an all-black ceramic bodywork that emanates power and finesse. Every facet of this timepiece, from the round dial and integrated bracelet to its octagonal bezel exudes a dazzling sense of architecture, underscoring the watch’s dynamic finishes. Its 42mm diameter, 10.92mm thickness and 100m water-resistance intensify its imposing presence.

Beyond its exterior charm, the watch’s innards are a spectacle in their own right. The skeletonised GP01800 automatic calibre, typically hidden, lays bare the internal components. This handcrafted masterpiece is limited to only 88 pieces and retails at EUR 57,200. It serves as an ode to the congruous beauty of motor racing and horology.
