Laureato Green Ceramic Aston Martin Edition (42mm and 38 mm)

Starting at $25,000, the Laureato Green Ceramic Aston Martin Edition features a slender green ceramic case and bracelet, the first of its kind in GP's history. Touted to be up to seven times harder than steel, the ceramic material ensures that the watch retains its showroom-fresh appearance for a long time and never "fades or ages". The dial's cross-hatch design, resembling AM's quilted seats, pays homage to the watch's racing roots. Visible through a transparent case back, the watches are powered by the tried and tested caliber GP03300.

Laureato Chronograph Aston Martin Edition (42mm)

This timepiece has a design similar to the the Laureato Green Ceramic Aston Martin Edition, sporting an identical case and bracelet albeit in grey, the same caliber, and a similar dial design. The presence of three chronograph sub-dials is the main visual difference. Priced at $21,400 upon release, the watch is currently sold out on the company's website.

The case itself, in a first for the industry, is made from a composition of titanium powder and carbon elements taken from the team's racing cars that took part in the 2021 season. Just like the Laureato above, the watch's dials also feature cross-hatching traced back as far as 1921 from the 'AM badge' common on Aston Martin's racing cars. The watch is powered by the caliber GP03300 and has a starting price of $27,800.

The world isn't short of collaborations between watch manufacturers and racing teams, but few of those offer the simplicity, class, and well-thought-out execution that the Girard Perregaux-Aston Martin combo produces. With the announcement of the renewal of their partnership, It's hard not to salivate in anticipation.
