Girard-Perregaux Laureato Fifty Three Gold Bridges Joins the Permanent Collection at $182,000

Girard-Perregaux has moved its Girard-Perregaux Laureato Fifty Three Gold Bridges into the permanent collection with rose gold bridges, hour markers and hands in place of the white gold of last year's limited edition. The reference is 99112-58-3619-1CM, the price is $182,000 (CHF 162,000 or EUR 178,000), and it is no longer limited to 50 pieces. The case stays at 41mm in steel with a white gold bezel, water resistance rises from 30m to 50m, and the movement is still the in-house automatic tourbillon GP9620. Gear Patrol reported the launch on October 27, 2026, and Monochrome published a review within days. The sources disagree on one point that matters to buyers: whether the US price actually rose.

What changed from the 2025 limited edition

The 2025 watch was the first time Girard-Perregaux put its Three Bridges tourbillon architecture inside the Laureato case. Gear Patrol and Monochrome both say it debuted at Dubai Watch Week and was limited to 50 pieces. The 2026 model keeps the same 41mm by 10.85mm steel case, the same octagonal white gold bezel and the same integrated bracelet, and switches the metal of the bridges, the hour markers and the hands to rose gold. Monochrome describes the markers and minute track as sitting on a sloped flange, with pencil-shaped hands carrying Super-LumiNova.

The other documented change is water resistance, up from 30m to 50m. Monochrome says the technical specification is otherwise "largely unchanged". Gear Patrol describes this as the Laureato Fifty design language carried over from last year, and positions it inside a growing Laureato Fifty line. We found no source that lists any new complication or movement change.

Because the watch is no longer a numbered edition, the practical difference for a buyer is availability: a limited run of 50 was a fixed supply. A permanent reference can be ordered through the brand's boutiques and retailers, although at this price level supply and allocation are still decided by the brand and we found no statement of expected waiting times.

The GP9620 movement and the three-bridge layout

The brand page lists the calibre as GP9620 (the spec sheet shows GP9620-2856) with 303 parts, 33 jewels and a frequency of 21,600 vph, or 3 Hz, in a 32mm movement. Monochrome adds that it is an openworked, three-bridge automatic with a platinum micro-rotor at 12 o'clock, an exposed barrel and a one-minute tourbillon at 6 o'clock showing the small seconds. It quotes a power reserve of 55 hours, 418 hand-polished bevels and 362 inner angles. Those last three figures come from one outlet, so we label them REPORTED.

The layout traces back to 1867, when Girard-Perregaux introduced its three-bridge design for pocket chronometers. Gear Patrol, Monochrome and Watchonista all give that date. Gear Patrol notes that the 160th anniversary of the Three Bridges architecture falls in 2027, which may explain why the brand is investing in the design now. Monochrome says the bridges, originally in steel or gold, were later popularised by the La Esmeralda tourbillon; we have not checked that point against a second source.

Rose gold bridges are the visible difference from the earlier version. Monochrome calls them solid Neo Bridges in rose gold, where the 2025 edition used white gold. The case has a sapphire caseback as well as a sapphire front crystal, per the brand page.

Price: $182,000, and why the sources disagree

Girard-Perregaux's US product page lists USD 182,000. Monochrome gives EUR 178,000, CHF 162,000 and USD 182,000, and says the price is the same as the 2025 limited edition. Gear Patrol reports $182,000 and says it is up from $175,000 for last year's model. Both cannot be right. A secondary search also surfaced a US report of $175,350 for the 2025 watch, which would be consistent with Gear Patrol, but we did not open that page and do not rely on it.

Our reading: the current price is settled at $182,000, and whether it is an increase depends on which 2025 price you trust. If you are comparing against the earlier limited edition on the secondary market, check the dealer's own paperwork for the original retail price. We have not converted the franc or euro prices to dollars, because we did not retrieve a dated exchange rate; national taxes also differ, so the figures are not directly comparable.

For context at this price level, our best watches under $10,000 guide stops well short of it. This is a haute-horlogerie purchase, closer to the territory of our A. Lange & Söhne Datograph Perpetual report.

Where the watch sits in the Laureato story

Watchonista dates the Laureato to 1975 and describes it as the first fully in-house integrated-bracelet watch from Girard-Perregaux, with an octagonal case. That is the brand's own framing as relayed by the outlet; we have not independently checked it against other integrated-bracelet launches of the same decade. The 50th-anniversary year produced a run of Laureato releases, and this tourbillon is one of the most expensive.

The 2025 limited edition also appears in our GPHG 2026 nominee coverage, where the Laureato Fifty Three Gold Bridges is listed among the Tourbillon category nominees. We have not verified which version the jury assessed, so treat that as a link to context, not a statement about this model.

The case for the watch, according to the coverage, is an unusual combination: a tourbillon in a steel sports case with an integrated bracelet, with a triple-folding clasp and up to 4mm of micro-adjustment (REPORTED, Monochrome). The case against is price and the fact that the movement and case are carried over; this is a finishing change, not a new calibre.
