Legacy Meets Modernity: Edwards Lowell Brings Girard-Perregaux’s Latest Laureato to Malta

A new chapter in watchmaking sophistication arrives in Malta as Edwards Lowell introduces the Girard-Perregaux Laureato 38mm, a design icon reborn in striking new shades.

When a timepiece carries both heritage and modernity in its form, it becomes more than an accessory, it becomes a statement. This season, Edwards Lowell, Malta’s century-old luxury house, unveils the latest Girard-Perregaux Laureato 38mm, an evolution of a 1970s design classic that continues to redefine contemporary elegance.

A Design Legacy Reimagined

First introduced in 1975, the Laureato was a bold expression of its era: an integrated bracelet, octagonal bezel and a sporty refinement that set it apart. Nearly five decades later, the new Laureato 38mm retains its instantly recognisable silhouette while offering a fresh take for a new generation of collectors.

The launch brings two distinctive colourways to Malta – Sage Green and Midnight Blue. Both dials feature Clous de Paris detailing, a hallmark of watchmaking texture that plays beautifully with light, shifting from subtlety to vibrance depending on the angle. The 38mm case, crafted in steel, strikes the perfect balance. It is substantial enough to have presence, yet refined enough to slip elegantly beneath a sleeve.

Craftsmanship and Character

Inside the Laureato 38mm beats the GP03300 calibre, an automatic movement manufactured in-house by Girard-Perregaux. With 46 hours of power reserve, Côtes de Genève finishing, and impeccable Swiss precision, it represents the maison’s commitment to craftsmanship that endures.

Laureato’s original philosophy is exemplified in this model. The steel band, which seamlessly integrates into the casing, shows that a sports watch can also be supremely elegant. For collectors and newcomers alike, it’s a piece that bridges versatility and luxury, and is equally at home in boardrooms, during evenings out, or to take on a Mediterranean weekend away.

Edwards Lowell: Malta’s Luxury Custodian

The arrival of the Laureato 38mm for Edwards Lowell underscores their role as a custodian of global watchmaking excellence in Malta. For a hundred years, the Lowell family has introduced the island’s discerning clientele to the world’s most celebrated maisons, from Rolex and Patek Philippe to Girard-Perregaux.

The Laureato launch, therefore, is more than a new addition to their portfolio. It is a continuation of their ethos: pairing international prestige with the personal service and legacy that only a family-owned house can provide.

A Collector’s Piece for a New Era from Girard-Perregaux

The Girard-Perregaux Laureato 38mm Sage Green and Midnight Blue models are now available exclusively through Edwards Lowell in Malta, each representing not just a watch, but a conversation between past and present.

For those who appreciate design with a story, horology with heritage and luxury with substance, the Laureato offers something rare: timelessness in motion.
