Girard-Perregaux is giving the Laureato Fifty a more technical turn with a 39mm tourbillon that leans heavily into the manufacture’s own visual language.
Unveiled for Geneva Watch Days 2026, the Laureato Fifty Tourbillon Micro-Rotor arrives in two executions and follows a busy period for the collection, including the 50th anniversary of the Laureato in 2025 and the recent addition of a 36mm case size.
It’s a watch that doesn’t need to shout, because the signatures are doing the work.
At a glance
- Girard-Perregaux has introduced the Laureato Fifty Tourbillon Micro-Rotor in a 39mm stainless steel case.
- The watch pairs a one-minute tourbillon with the maison’s arrow-shaped bridge, Clous de Paris dial work and an off-centred micro-rotor.
- Two versions are offered, priced at SGD 143,600 for the blue enamel dial and SGD 137,200 for the gold dial, excluding taxes.
The Laureato Fifty gets a more serious complication
The Laureato has always been Girard-Perregaux’s sport-luxury shape, but this new version pulls it closer to the brand’s high-watchmaking identity.
The case measures 39mm across and 10mm thick, a compact set of proportions that suits the integrated-bracelet architecture without turning the watch into a purely ornamental object.
The stainless steel case is water resistant to 50 metres, and the bracelet includes a triple folding clasp with a discreet micro-adjustment system offering 4mm of extension.
That small practical detail matters on a watch like this, because integrated bracelets live or die by fit.
Arrow bridge and Clous de Paris as house signatures
The tourbillon sits at 6 o’clock, where its lyre-shaped cage completes one rotation per minute beneath a white gold bridge.
That bridge is shaped in Girard-Perregaux’s familiar arrow form, a design code tracing back to Constant Girard’s 1884 tourbillon with three bridges.
More than 140 years later, the form still carries weight because it isn’t simply decorative.
Girard-Perregaux has long treated bridges as part of both the mechanical structure and the visual identity of a movement, and the Laureato Fifty Tourbillon Micro-Rotor makes that philosophy visible from both sides of the watch.
The dial also draws from Laureato history through its Clous de Paris motif, a texture associated with the model from its earliest 1975 expression.
There are two dial treatments, with a blue grand feu enamel version on white gold and a gold-toned version crafted from 18K solid gold.
A new automatic calibre for the collection
Inside is the self-winding calibre GP8410-2574, a new automatic movement with a 72-hour power reserve.
It runs at 21,600 vibrations per hour and drives hours, minutes and the tourbillon.
The sapphire caseback reveals white gold bridges decorated with a Clous de Paris pattern that mirrors the dial, giving the watch a more cohesive architectural feel than a conventional closed-dial tourbillon.
The off-centred micro-rotor is executed in platinum and pink gold, and it carries the same arrow-shaped bridge language rather than hiding the winding system behind a full rotor.
It’s also notable in the wider context of Girard-Perregaux’s recent movement development, following the GP4800, GP9620 and GP9530 calibres introduced within the preceding year.

The Laureato Fifty Tourbillon Micro-Rotor is most compelling for collectors who want Girard-Perregaux’s technical heritage in a watch that still wears like a modern integrated-bracelet daily piece.
Rather than treating the Laureato as a blank platform for complication, Girard-Perregaux has used it to restate the details that make the house recognisable.
