Girard-Perregaux introduced the Laureato in 1975, three years after the Royal Oak and two before the Nautilus, and it belongs to the same brief moment when Swiss houses were working out what a luxury steel sports watch should look like. Its octagonal bezel sits on a round case rather than replacing it, which gives the Laureato a softer profile than its better-known contemporaries.
This is the Bamford Watch Department collaboration, the Laureato Ghost, limited to twenty-five pieces. George Bamford built his reputation customising watches that manufacturers did not want customised, and eventually found himself working with the manufacturers directly. The Ghost executes the entire case and bracelet in white ceramic against a white dial — a single-material, single-colour object, which is a harder thing to pull off than a contrasting one.
The movement is automatic. Reference 81005. Production year is 2020.
Ceramic bracelets remain uncommon because the material cannot be machined or adjusted the way steel can; every link must be moulded, sintered and finished individually, and a single failure in the process ruins the component.
This example is offered as a full set in very good condition, one of twenty-five made, and, like every watch Uptown Exchange lists, has been authenticated and inspected before being offered for sale.
