Lot Essay

With Girard-Perregaux Certificat d'Authenticité signed by Luigi Macaluso and International Guarantee card stamped by retailer and dated 20 December 2009. Furthermore delivered with instruction manual, literature, an unusual spherical fitted presentation case and outer packaging

Introduced in 1998, the three bridge Laureato Tourbillon successfully combines tradition and contemporary design, the iconic tourbillon proven reliable and solid enough to be fitted in a sports watch.

At Girard-Perregaux, Haute Horlogerie is synonym for research and development and the use of new materials. The LAUREATO EVO3 Tourbillon with three sapphire bridges is certainly the perfect representation of this philosophy.

Sapphire is the second hardest mineral after diamond and the latest technologies are used to craft the bridges following the strict tolerances imposed for state of the art watch movements. Through a high precision process the material is polished until the achievement of the perfect transparency which makes the Laureato model even more unique, allowing a full view of the intricacies and complications of the tourbillon movement.

The shape of the three sapphire bridges is inspired by the original design of the celebrated tourbillon chronometer with three gold bridges for which Girard-Perregaux enjoys international fame since 1889.
