Laureato-Olimpico 8017 from the 1996 GP catalog. See the price list. Before tax 9,800 Deutschmarks. These were not cheap. This is 1996 … imagine that. And they sold out as this model was highly sought after. Good to know these things.
Going twenty plus days now and I relish this watch. Very versatile and a bit under the radar, and 40mm is nothing short of perfection in my eyes. Wishing you all a great week!
I’m a fairly sporadic poster on these forums, but I do read a lot more than I post, so I thought I’d post my new (old) acquisition. I call it a new (old) acquisition as this is my third big pilot. My first “luxury” watch was in 2009 at the age of 26 when
The original 5270 is a leaf hand, but I prefer this shape type. Even the clasp is set with jewels, giving it a luxurious feel. We took a two-shot with 5539G (MR Tourbillon)
Due to the severe import restrictions in my Country the arrival of luxury goods is subjected to long delays but I feel the waiting was very worth it in this case. The white dial Speedy is with me since a couple of days. I just took a couple of quick shots
What a day, what a week.😵💫 There’s something to be said for simplicity. Kurono and the Japanese aesthetic evoke elegant simplicity and tranquillity in my mind.
