Luxury that shines in British racing green – the limited edition Laureato Chronograph - Girard-Perregaux x Aston Martin - will captivate watch and car lovers alike.

Girard-Perregaux x Aston Martin have been caught in a passionate dance between haute horlogerie and automotive exclusivity since 2021. From wild models like the triple-bridge tourbillon with a skeletonized dial, to the Laureato Chronograph made from materials from past F1 cars, this duo always finds a way to push the boundaries a little further.

And while their shared history has already produced some stunning designs, now, with their sixth watch, they've reached a new level. Introducing Girard-Perregaux x Aston Martin Laureato Chronograph – a chronograph that brings one of the most outstanding dials in recent times to the world of watchmaking.

Green is not just a color, it's an identity

If there's one color that Aston Martin takes seriously, it's green. More specifically British Racing Green, which dates back to 1922, when British racing cars competed in the Gordon Bennett Cup in shamrock green. Since then, the shade has become the brand's trademark, and today Aston Martin offers no fewer than nine different shades of green (and "unlimited" options through its Q personalization program).

This time the watch boasts: special iridescent green dial, which changes shades depending on the light and viewing angle. The production of this dial requires as many as 14 production steps, the result is a surface that subtly shimmers and exudes luxury in its most beautiful form.

Titanium that's as light as a hypercar

A premium dial requires an equally prestigious case. The Laureato Chronograph Aston Martin Edition is made of grade 5 titanium, a lightweight and extremely resistant alloy that Aston Martin also uses in its hybrid hypercar Valkyrie. The case is a combination of brushed and polished surfaces, which, together with the integrated titanium bracelet, creates a perfect harmony between aesthetics and ergonomics.

With diameter 42 mm and thickness 12.6 mm remains in the golden ratio between sporty and elegant, water resistance up to 100 meters and ensures that it will survive both casual splashes and more serious exploits.

Traditional mechanics in a modern guise
