Girard-Perregaux has updated the Laureato Fifty Three Gold Bridges with new rose gold accents on the dial and moved the tourbillon model from a limited run into the brand’s permanent collection, according to Monochrome. Pricing is unchanged from the limited edition of 2025: EUR 178,000, CHF 162,000 or USD 182,000.

From Dubai Watch Week Debut to the Permanent Collection

The watch began life as a limited edition presented during Dubai Watch Week, introduced as a way of merging Girard-Perregaux’s emblematic sports watch with its three gold bridges signature. For this new version, Monochrome notes that the technical side hasn’t changed much; the visible difference sits on the dial, which now carries rose gold accents. The reference is 99112-58-3619-1CM, and the model now sits in the permanent catalogue rather than a numbered run. It is also the kind of reference that only devoted students of the brand will recognize on sight — the sort of deep cut that makes the daily guessing game at Watchdle tricky.

A Steel Barrel Case Under an Octagonal White Gold Bezel

The case middle and caseback are mainly stainless steel, shaped as a barrel and measuring 41mm across and 10.85mm thick. Finishing alternates vertically brushed surfaces with polished lateral bevels. Up top, an 18k white gold octagonal bezel rests on a circular plinth, matched by an octagonal crown. A sapphire crystal covers the front of the watch.

Rose Gold Moves Onto the Bridges and the Dial

The most visible change involves the Neo Bridges, which are now machined in solid rose gold instead of the white gold used before. The openworked dial gains applied rose gold hour markers filled with Super-LumiNova, set on the angled inner flange, while the hands are rose gold-toned and carry Super-LumiNova inserts of their own.

Calibre GP9620-2856: Tourbillon Below, Micro-Rotor Above

Power comes from the in-house calibre GP9620-2856, visible through the sapphire caseback in an openworked, three-bridge architecture. A one-minute tourbillon runs at 6 o’clock, while the automatic winding system sits at 12 o’clock with a platinum micro-rotor underneath the barrel. The movement holds 303 components, including 33 jewels, and beats at a leisurely 21,600 vibrations per hour — a cadence explored in our balance wheel explainer. Power reserve is 55 hours.

418 Hand-Polished Bevels and 362 Inner Angles

Finishing figures are specific: the movement carries 418 hand-polished bevels and 362 inner angles. That count reflects the amount of manual work involved in dressing an openworked calibre of this kind, where anglage is exposed on all sides rather than hidden behind plates and bridges.

Pocket Watch Bridges Meet a 1975 Sports Watch

The three-bridge tourbillon layout dates back to 1867, when it appeared on a pocket watch, and was later popularised by the La Esmeralda. The Laureato itself arrived in 1975, a few years after 1972 set the blueprint for the integrated-style sports watch genre — a story our Audemars Piguet Royal Oak FAQ retraces in detail. The Laureato Fifty was released in 2025 to celebrate the collection’s 50th anniversary, and the Fifty Three Gold Bridges grew out of that anniversary program.
