In the world of watches, the exquisite decoration of the movement is not only a display of technology, it is also an important element to enhance the sense of luxury. Have you ever wondered why some watches are called “white moonlight” by watch enthusiasts? Girard-Perregaux’s new Laurel Series Chronograph ice blue limited edition, in addition to its appearance and performance, its movement decoration is also tempting to take a closer look.

Movement decoration and watch luxury

In the world of watches, the exquisite decoration of the movement is not only a display of technology, but also an important element that enhances the overall luxury of the watch. Because of this, when a watch not only has excellent performance, but also has exquisite movement decoration, it will become a “white moonlight” in the minds of watch lovers. On the ice blue limited edition of GP Girard-Perregaux’s new Laurel Series Chronograph, in addition to its appearance and performance, its movement is also worth savoring.

Excellent performance of GP03300 movement

This new GP Girard-Perregaux 810201133133701GM watch is equipped with the GP03300 movement. The modular design of this movement not only has the basic function of automatic winding, but also provides additional complex functions such as timing and perpetual calendar. It also has a power reserve of 46 hours and a vibration frequency of 28,800 times per hour. As a high-end mechanical chronograph watch, the performance of the GP03300 movement is quite outstanding.

The continued development and diversification of the Laurel Series

Since its revival in 2016, the Laurel series has continued to develop. In addition to replicating the retro-style styling of the 1970s, it has also added more diverse material and functional options. Nowadays, many versions with different functions such as skeletonization, minute repeater, and tourbillon have been launched. The materials include gold, silver, rose gold, bronze and other choices. It is worth mentioning that, as the most representative model in the series, Girard-Perregaux has always provided the Laurel series with two functional options: automatic winding basic model and chronograph.

The market and collection value of limited edition watches

As a newly launched limited edition, the Girard-Perregaux 810201133701GM watch inherits the characteristics of the previous chronograph in terms of design and function. Official information shows that the new watch will be limited to 180 pieces worldwide, and the official website price is 156,000 yuan. In addition to the ice blue dial, the new model also comes with an integrated stainless steel bracelet and a triple folding clasp as standard. Compared with ordinary styles, limited edition styles are naturally more scarce and collectible in the market, which is one of the important reasons why they can attract more market attention.

Ice blue dial and design features of the Laurel series

Of course, as a watch, appearance and performance are equally indispensable. The biggest highlight of the new GP Girard-Perregaux 810201133701133701GM Chronograph Ice Blue Limited Edition watch is its ice blue dial. Under the illumination of light, the ice blue dial of this watch will show different shades of blue, as crystal clear as an Arctic glacier. In order to further enhance the visual effect, this ice blue dial is also decorated with Paris hobnail pattern, which forms a sharp contrast with the central snailed sub-dial. The three functional areas of small seconds, 12-hour sub-timer and 30-minute sub-timer are located at 3 o’clock, 6 o’clock and 9 o’clock respectively.

It should be noted that as a new work in the Laurel series, this GP Girard-Perregaux 810201133701GM Chronograph Ice Blue Limited Edition watch is not the first time that a small snail sub-dial design has appeared. The GP03300-0047 chronograph released in 2018 also uses a small snail sub-dial design, and this watch is also a limited edition, but its limited quantity has reached 225 pieces, so its circulation in the market is relatively high.

It has to be said that the small snail sub-dial design is of great help in improving the overall dynamics and aesthetics of the Laurel series chronograph. This design also enhances the distinction between the small seconds hand and the sub-chronograph hand to a certain extent, thereby avoiding misreading during use.

The new watch also has a date display window at 6 o’clock. Unlike other date display designs, this window is decorated with a gold frame, which echoes the hands and scales, further enhancing the overall aesthetics.

50th Anniversary and the History of the Laurel Series

Looking back on the Laurel series, in fact, this series is not an “original work” of GP Girard-Perregaux. As early as 1975, the brand launched its first Laurel series watch. Its bold and dynamic design style was very avant-garde at the time. In particular, the octagonal bezel has become one of the most recognizable design elements of this series of watches.

Today, the release of the new GP Girard-Perregaux 810201133701GM chronograph ice blue limited edition watch also means that the Laurel series is about to celebrate its 50th anniversary. In such a special year, it is reasonable to launch a new limited edition chronograph model as a commemoration.

Conclusion

This ice blue limited edition watch from Girard-Perregaux is really a work of art that combines beauty and performance.
