The sixth in a collection of sought-after timepieces created from this collaboration of two luxury brands since 2021, the new Laureato Chronograph Aston Martin Edition is a collaboration born from the mutual desire to create a product that would deliver a sensation-rich ownership experience.

An Aston Martin is intended to orchestrate human emotion and deliver an intense, singular driving experience. This feeling inspired the new Laureato Chronograph Aston Martin Edition, and everything about the timepiece has been designed to demand attention.

Aston Martin's iconic association with the color green began in 1922 when drivers would race in the nation's color, and for Aston Martin, a color later christened British Racing Green. Building on this association, Aston Martin now offers customers nine exclusive shades of green within its core color palette and limitless options through its bespoke service, Q by Aston Martin.

The new Laureato Chronograph Aston Martin Edition's dial is adorned in green, expressing the British marque's identity. In this instance, Girard-Perregaux has reimagined an iridescent shade from Aston Martin's palette while still paying homage to the marque and its racing heritage. The dial is colored during a time-intensive, intricate process that involves 14 manufacturing steps alone.

Integrating green isn't the only synergy between the brand and this latest timepiece, with the luxury watchmaker also using advanced materials familiar to Aston Martin. Grade five titanium, a material that was used in the production of the marque's hypercar Valkyrie, has been utilized for the new Laureato Chronograph Aston Martin Edition to produce a product that combines durability, precision, and comfort - all essential components when building a watch that will deliver exceptional performance and maintain wearability. Upholding Laureato tradition, the case and bracelet feature brushed and polished surfaces to provide an alluring contrast.

Aston Martin and Girard-Perregaux are synonymous with the world of luxury. Expert craftsmanship combined with a passion for transcending boundaries has inspired pieces that excite to the core. The new Laureato Chronograph Aston Martin Edition is now available at selected Girard-Perregaux retailers worldwide.

Limited to 188 timepieces worldwide.
