First Look: Girard-Perregaux Laureato Japan “Aiiro” Limited Editions

Girard-Perregaux’s Japan-oriented Laureato “Aiiro” editions come in two distinct versions: the 42 mm stainless-steel Laureato Aiiro, reference 81010-11-3310-1GM, and the 42 mm Grade 5 titanium Laureato Chronograph Aiiro, reference 81020-21-3311-1GM. Both have indigo dials and are limited by the manufacturer to 100 pieces per model, but they differ in movement, functions, thickness, caseback, and regional pricing.

What are the Girard-Perregaux Laureato Aiiro editions?

“Aiiro” is the name Girard-Perregaux gives these two Japan-oriented Laureato limited editions. The brand describes their dial color as indigo, inspired by Japan, and says the releases mark the 160th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Switzerland and Japan. On its US product page, the manufacturer writes: “Girard-Perregaux marks the 160th anniversary of diplomatic relations existing between Switzerland and Japan with the release of two versions of the Laureato.”

The brand says the Laureato first appeared in 1975. It also calls the titanium chronograph the first use of Grade 5 titanium on a classic Laureato reference; both historical and design statements are the manufacturer’s claims.

How do the Laureato Aiiro models differ?

The movement listing gives 191 parts, 28 jewels, a 30 mm total diameter, and a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz). The watch measures 10.68 mm thick and has a sapphire display back.

Girard-Perregaux describes Grade 5 titanium as strong, light, corrosion-resistant, and hypoallergenic. Those are the brand’s material claims; the published product details do not establish a comparative on-wrist weight or comfort measurement against the steel version.

How many Aiiro watches were made?

Girard-Perregaux lists each reference as limited to 100 pieces. That is 100 of the steel time-and-date model and 100 of the titanium chronograph, rather than 100 watches shared between the two references. The brand’s stated production limit does not establish resale demand or investment performance.
