Dubai Watch Week 2025: Girard-Perregaux Elevates Brilliance With The Diamond-Set Laureato Three Gold Bridges
The jewel like quality of the Laureato Three Gold Bridges is clear to see. However, for watch aficionados seeking the ultimate in brilliance, Girard-Perregaux offers a version of the watch set with 32 baguette cut diamonds (~3.2 carats). Drawing on the talents of a master gem-setter, the baguette-cut diamonds must be precisely set within a custom-made bezel. The stones are placed within a channel that is designed to accommodate the subtle variations in the size and shape of each diamond. The master gem-setter ensures all stones are aligned and presented at the same height.
The Calibre GP9620, designed, developed and crafted in house specifically for the Laureato Three Gold Bridges, is structured around three white gold openworked bridges that form its visual and functional backbone. The upper bridge secures the barrel, beneath which the platinum micro-rotor is ingeniously positioned, the central bridge supports the gear train and motion works, and the lower one anchors the tourbillon. This alignment – barrel, gear train, and tourbillon on a single axis – remains a rare technical feat, both rational and poetic.
