Girard-Perregaux unites two of its most iconic horological signatures in the Laureato Fifty Three Gold Bridges, an ultra-exclusive edition of three numbered timepieces unveiled during IAMWATCH in Singapore.
Presented in collaboration with longtime retail partner The Hour Glass, the creation celebrates more than two centuries of cultivated watchmaking tradition and the passionate collector community across the Lion City. The watch brings together the architectural movement principles of Constant Girard’s landmark 1867 Three Bridges with the integrated sports-luxury geometry of the 1975 Laureato.
Housed in a 41 mm stainless steel case with an integrated steel bracelet, the silhouette is distinguished by an 18-carat white gold octagonal bezel set with 32 baguette-cut green sapphires totaling approximately 2.40 carats, a chromatic nod to Singapore’s lush tropical greenery.
Dispensing with a traditional dial, the extreme skeletonization turns the Manufacture calibre GP09620 into the visual centrepiece of the timepiece. Three parallel arrow-shaped bridges crafted in white gold span the openworked architecture, aligning the barrel, gear train, and emblematic lyre-shaped tourbillon cage along a clean central axis. A discreet platinum micro-rotor tucked beneath the barrel preserves visual symmetry while supplying a minimum 55-hour power reserve, framed by suspended white gold hour markers and baton hands filled with blue-emitting luminescent material.
Limited to just three individually numbered pieces, the Laureato Fifty Three Gold Bridges transforms structural engineering into wearable art. By pairing jewel-toned elegance with the enduring geometry of two horological icons, Girard-Perregaux delivers a rare tribute to connoisseurship that resonates deeply with Singapore’s discerning watch community.
