In the world of luxury watches, few collaborations capture the imagination quite like that of Girard-Perregaux and Aston Martin. Their latest creation, the Laureato Skeleton Aston Martin Edition, is a bold expression of shared values—where cutting-edge performance, timeless design, and exceptional craftsmanship converge.
This remarkable timepiece not only showcases the art of Swiss watchmaking but also pays tribute to the unmistakable aesthetic language of Aston Martin’s supercars. The new Laureato Skeleton commands attention on both the wrist and the road with its black ceramic case, open-worked movement, and Racing Green accents.
Girard-Perregaux x Aston Martin: A High-Performance Watch Collaboration
The partnership between Girard-Perregaux and Aston Martin continues to push the boundaries of creative innovation. Both brands have earned global recognition for their commitment to performance, proportion, and distinctive design.
According to Aston Martin’s Chief Creative Officer Marek Reichman, the goal is always to preserve that instantly recognizable design DNA. Girard-Perregaux echoes this sentiment in the Laureato Skeleton, deliberately crafting every detail with form, function, and finesse in mind.
Black Ceramic Case and Iconic Laureato Design
One of the standout features of the Laureato Skeleton Aston Martin Edition is its black ceramic case—a sleek, scratch-resistant material that is seven times harder than steel, hypoallergenic, and exceptionally smooth to the touch.
The watch stays true to the iconic silhouette of the original 1975 Laureato, updated with contemporary materials and refined finishing. Its octagonal bezel features a circular satin finish, while the horizontal satin-finished case and bracelet showcase a luxurious interplay of polished and brushed surfaces. This makes the watch as durable as it is elegant—built for collectors who value both aesthetics and utility.
Skeleton Dial with Aston Martin Racing Green Accents
The skeletonised dial reveals the inner workings of the timepiece, creating a dramatic visual statement. Suspended hour markers and skeletonised hands are coated in Aston Martin’s signature Racing Green, a colour that glows subtly in low-light settings for optimal legibility and distinctive style.
A discreet skeleton seconds hand at the 10 o’clock position adds another layer of sophistication, while ensuring every time-reading detail is practical and purposeful.
GP01800 Calibre: Inside the Laureato Skeleton Aston Martin Edition


At the heart of the watch lies the in-house GP01800 calibre, visible through both the sapphire crystal dial and caseback. This openworked movement reveals the mechanical ballet of the mainspring, balance wheel, hairspring, and escape lever in action.
A skeletonised solid gold rotor, finished in the same Racing Green hue, enhances the movement’s light play and architectural depth. The calibre features 55 hand-finished internal angles, as well as bevelled, sandblasted, traits-tirés, and circular satin surfaces—all done by hand. This level of haute horlogerie finishing reflects over 230 years of watchmaking expertise from Girard-Perregaux.
With a variable inertia balance and a 54-hour power reserve, this movement ensures high precision, shock resistance, and lasting reliability.
A Collector’s Must-Have
Combining technical prowess, avant-garde design, and legacy branding, the Laureato Skeleton Aston Martin Edition is more than a timekeeper—it’s a statement piece. For those passionate about both luxury automobiles and fine mechanical watches, this is where two worlds converge.
The Laureato Skeleton Aston Martin Edition is sold for RM 257,400. With its exclusive ceramic build, skeletonised mechanics, and Aston Martin design cues, this timepiece stands as a symbol of modern horological excellence.
