About this watch

Band: Black Leather Clasp: Gold (Buttefly) Glass: Sapphire crystal Water Resistant: 5 Bar The Laureato first appeared in 1975. It was one of the earliest luxury sports watches with an integrated design, pairing an octagonal bezel with a round case. Its name came from the Italian title of the film The Graduate, "Il Laureato", chosen for the watch's debut in the Italian market.

It is the signature of the Laureato and the feature that defines its silhouette. The watch sits on a black alligator leather strap. It secures with an 18ct pink gold double folding clasp that has the look of a traditional pin buckle. You get the ease of a deployant with less wear on the strap, while…
