The worlds of precision watchmaking and high-performance automotive design intersect in the Girard-Perregaux Laureato Skeleton Aston Martin Edition. This timepiece, sculpted entirely in black ceramic, embodies the seamless blend of power and elegance. Its openworked architecture reveals the mechanical heartbeat within, a choreography of finely finished components that mirrors the sculptural beauty and technical mastery of Aston Martin’s iconic cars.
A Recognisable Design Language
Just as Aston Martin’s cars are known for their harmonious lines and proportions, the Laureato Skeleton Aston Martin Edition retains the signature Laureato silhouette introduced in 1975. Here, however, the Maison embraces a thoroughly modern material — ceramic. Seven times harder than steel, lightweight, hypoallergenic, and virtually scratch-proof, ceramic offers both strength and refinement.
The octagonal bezel is enhanced with circular satin finishing, while the case receives horizontal satin treatment. True to Laureato tradition, the integrated bracelet continues the seamless design, with alternating polished and satin surfaces for a sophisticated interplay of light and texture.
Racing Green Elegance
Details inspired by Aston Martin Racing Green define this edition. Skeletonised hands and suspended indexes, treated with a green luminescent coating, provide optimal readability and emit a captivating glow in dim conditions. A skeletonised seconds hand at 10 o’clock adds balance to the dial while preserving transparency and symmetry.
Every design choice enhances both visibility and aesthetic purity, ensuring that nothing distracts from the architectural beauty of the movement beneath.
An Uncompromising Display of Expertise
Unlike traditional closed dials, this skeletonised creation showcases the in-house GP01800 calibre in all its depth. Through the sapphire crystal and exhibition caseback, the wearer witnesses the living mechanics of horology — from the mainspring and oscillating balance wheel to the pallet lever engaging with the escape wheel. The caseback also bears a metallised Aston Martin logo, further cementing the partnership.
The GP01800 calibre reflects more than 230 years of watchmaking expertise. Its hand-finished artistry includes 55 internal angles and four distinct finishing techniques — bevelling, sandblasting, traits-tirés, and circular satin — all executed by hand.
A skeletonised solid gold rotor, coated in Aston Martin Racing Green, harmonises with the hands, while light floods the calibre, accentuating its architectural layers. With its variable inertia balance for enhanced stability and 54-hour power reserve, this watch ensures precision, reliability, and endurance, on or off the wrist.
Retailing at SGD 80,300 (with tax), this edition is a collector’s statement.
