Luxury Swiss watchmaker Girard-Perregaux has once again teamed up with Aston Martin to unveil the Laureato Skeleton Aston Martin Edition — a limited-edition black ceramic timepiece that fuses high horology with high-performance automotive style.
A Tribute to the 1975 Laureato
The new model pays homage to the original 1975 Laureato design with its signature octagonal bezel and integrated bracelet, but evolves it through a fully blacked-out ceramic case — a material seven times harder than steel, making it ultra-lightweight, scratch-resistant, and hypoallergenic.
